“Dick” Rich —

$500 from an elder brother to es
tablish the original store. Later the
brothers joined in operating the
place, i
One of their sons, Walter,
preceded Dick Rich as president.
When Walter Rich died in 1949, he
became president of the depart
ment store, now developed into the
largest in the South and one of the
nation's biggest.
Under his leadership, the es
tablishment expanded through
branches in many of the shopping
areas which encircled Atlanta.
Branches too are located in Bir
mingham and Charlotte.
The original $500 investment
grew through the decades into an
inimitable institution in the mer
cantile field, with sales totalling in
excess of $300,000,000 annually.
Many are the legends of Rich’s
in the economic life of Atlanta,
none more persistently told and
retold than the time during the
depression years when the teachers
of Atlanta were issued scrip in lieu
of cash in payment of their ser
vices. Only Rich's accepted the
scrip and exchanged it for cash.
He had been president at one
time of the Atlanta Chamber of
Commerce, the Rotary Club, the
Atlanta Retail Merchants Asso
ciation, National Retail Mer
chants Association, Advertising
Club, Atlanta Arts Alliance and
the Community Chest.
He chaired the group which
erected the Arts Alliance structure
and was chairman of the city's
mass transit efforts (MARTA)
during its earliest years.
Although Mr. Rich would never
qualify as an ardent supporter of
Israel, he had in recent years
become increasingly interested in
that spot in the Middle East, par
ticularly since a few years ago he
visited the Jewish State on a com
bination business and pleasure trip
to sources which supplied
merchandise to the A.M.E., a
cooperative purchasing agency
Israeli merchandise has been
offered in several of the Rich’s
departments.
As a young man, Mr. Rich
attended the Wharton and Har
vard Business Schools. He had
already begun to work in the
Atlanta set-up. From 1933 until
1936 he was in charge of the New
York oITtce, handling purchasing
and shipment.
In 1937, he was elected a vice
president and remained in top
management as general sales
manager and publicity director.
Surviving are his son Michael
Rich, two daughters, Mrs. William
Adolph of Scarsdale, N Y., and
Mrs. Robert Barnett of Atlanta,
and nine grandchildren He also
leaves a sister, Mrs. Charles
Riescr.
