Black Friday - Did you know???

 

Black Friday - Did you know?????

Black Friday - kind of a strange name - but did you know WHY it's called Black Friday?

It's a term that refers to old-fashioned accounting methods - way back when - the retailers and the grocers kept handwritten ledgers of their accounts.

Numbers in RED ink meant a loss

Numbers in BLACK in meant a profit - hence the term "We are now "in the Black"  - simply, we are no longer losing money - we are showing profits!!

In recent years - the retailers have adopted this term - and it has come to mean BIG HUGE PROFITS - traditionally, the Day after Thanksgiving is when the Christmas Shopping Season begins - and for accounting purposes - The Retailers make lots of money!!

IN THE BLACK = Black Friday!
