Day II of David Jones training.

What can I say, it was pretty much the same as yesterday. I guess the only thing that made the day go faster was that there was more interaction with the trainees rather than just lecture after lecture about DJs policy and the history behind the store.

BUT... what I will tell you that does carry some interest value (well in my opinion) is that... The DJs symbol is called a houndstooth. Now a houndstooth is a pattern used on clothing, but more importantly...

DJs historically was the first Department Store that imported goods out of Paris... before then... it was unheard of. Anywho, the first line that DJs had imported was... Christian Dior. Some might not know (I know I had no idea), but Christian Dior's logo originally was a houndstooth and DJs wanting to enforce the relationship between itself and Christian Dior adapted the houndstooth as their own symbol.

Interesting stuff... ayeee macca.
