Belk, Inc. is an American department store chain founded in 1888 by William Henry Belk in Monroe, North Carolina. The store was first called New York Racket and then Belk Brothers, after Belk made his brother, physician Dr. John Belk, his partner. Belk bought in volume to pass savings on and sold at fixed prices, then a relatively unusual practice. The business grew steadily, relying on "bargain sales" and advertising to grow the business and increase its influence throughout the South.(Submitted on October 20, 2022, by Cosmos Mariner of Cape Canaveral, Florida.)
