| Table Of Weighted Average Black Scholes Fair Value Assumptions [Table Text Block]                  | The following summarizes the assumptions used to estimate the fair value of service-based stock options granted during the twenty-six weeks endedJuly 31, 2016 and August 2, 2015: Twenty-Six Weeks Ended 7/31/16 8/2/15Weighted average risk-free interest rate1.45% 1.54%Weighted average expected option term (in years)    6.25 6.25Weighted average Company volatility34.64% 36.32%Expected annual dividends per share    $0.15 $0.15Weighted average grant date fair value per option$35.60 $40.23The risk-free interest rate is based on United States Treasury yields in effect at the date of grant for periods corresponding to the expected option term. The expected option term represents the weighted average period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding, based on vesting schedules and the contractual term of the options. Company volatility is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s common stock over a period of time corresponding to the expected option term. Expected dividends are based on the Company’s common stock cash dividend rate at the date of grant. The Company has continued to utilize the simplified method to estimate the expected term for its “plain vanilla” stock options granted due to a lack of relevant historical data resulting, in part, from changes in the pool of employees receiving option grants, mainly due to acquisitions. The Company will continue to evaluate the appropriateness of utilizing such method. |
