Although based in Connecticut, its warehouse-like stores were mostly concentrated in the New York and Los Angeles basins. According to a Time magazine story of 1949, the corporate name was a complete invention; the actual founder and head was a garment merchant by the name of Jacob Schwab, who \"plucked the name out of the air.\"   Robert Hall was a pioneer of the low-overhead, large-facility (\"big-box\") merchandising technique, and combined inexpensively made goods with extensive radio and television advertising. Many Americans who grew up in the 1950s and 60s recall the commercial jingles of the time, especially featuring the version performed by Les Paul and Mary Ford, which generally began,  When the values go up, up, up And the prices go down, down, down, Robert Hall this season Will show you the reason High quality! Economy!   which ran (sometimes with the last line as \"Low overhead, low overhead\") until the early 1960s, when the discounter focused heavily on \"Back-to-School\" jingles:  [Mature male voice:] School bells ring and children sing [Raucous, annoyed-sounding children:] It\'s back to Robert Hall again. Mother knows for better clothes It\'s back to Robert Hall again. You\'ll save more on clothes for school Shop at Robert Hall!   ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------  MISC SITES: Videos: http://bit.ly/MiscVideos Photos: http://on.fb.me/MiscPhotos Updates:  http://bit.ly/RetroTimeMachine Website: http://bit.ly/MiscBlog Twitter: http://bit.ly/MiscTwitter Facebook: http://on.fb.me/MiscFB Live Stream: http://bit.ly/theretrocast YouRememberThat: http://bit.ly/MiscYRT  -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------  MISC INQUIRIES: Request a film, TV show, newsreel, etc. at: http://bit.ly/MiscRequests Ask a question at: http://bit.ly/MiscQuestions E-mail: miscvideos78rpm (at) gmail.com  Thanks for watching!'
