...rush into the store was so great that customers tried to push through the "In" and "Out" side of a Macy's revolving door at the same time; the door fell flat. In the store, jammed tight with frantic bargain-hunters, Toastmasters were slashed from $23 to $14.72; Sunbeam Mixmasters were cut from $46.50 to $26.59, and hundreds of other items were cut from 6% to 40%. Down the street, Macy's big rival posted its famed slogan: "Nobody but nobody undersells Gimbels," matched Macy's cuts. Across the East River, in Brooklyn's Abraham & Straus...
