| Narrator | 50 Years ago, he opened a little store | 0:01 |
| on 7th Avenue and 17th Street. | 0:03 | |
| (car horn honking) | 0:05 | |
| (whimsical music) | ||
| He opened that store with a grand total of 40 suits. | 0:10 | |
| He sold his suits during the good times, | 0:13 | |
| and he got by on the seat of his pants | 0:17 | |
| during the bad times. | 0:18 | |
| He worked long, and he worked hard. | 0:21 | |
| (whimsical music continues) | 0:24 | |
| But if he did anything, | 0:27 | |
| he always gave the people of this town that they wanted, | 0:29 | |
| their money's worth. | 0:33 | |
| His name was Barney. | 0:35 | |
| And today his store is still giving | 0:38 | |
| people their money's worth. | 0:40 | |
| (car horns honking) | 0:41 | |
| (traffic rumbling) | ||
| Only now, Barney's has a lot more to give. | 0:43 | |
| Today that little hole in the block | 0:45 | |
| is not only the whole block, | 0:47 | |
| it's the single largest men's store in the world. | 0:49 | |
| Barney's has changed a lot in 50 years, | 0:52 | |
| (whimsical music) | 0:54 | |
| but Barney hasn't. | 0:57 |
