Our Customers are Oi? r. Advertisers V
B have often 1 sked why we do not ad-
dvertise like r clothing houses. They
say why don't you make a great spread in the
newspapers about the goods youfhave not got
and about the goods you never expect to have and get
the good people in your house and then you can sell
something anyhow.
That may be <5ne way of running a store, but when we hav«
to resort to that kind of method t<j do business, some one else
will have jo do the business and we will step down and out.
We never advertise auything we are not able to show to our
customers when they call for it. And irit is the article they
are looking for we are glad and will appreciate patronage, if not,
we will not worry them to death trying to sell them something
they do not want and send them from the house feeling as
though they never wanted to come back in any more,
• NO! We want onr customers to feel that they have been
fair and have found the right articjc and at the right place to buy
it. Then they will infoim their neighbors, and so the business
movps on. •
It is very seldom a day goes by but what one or more per-
sons come into our store and inform us that their neighbor or
friend, Mr. Jones or.Mr. Smith, told tliem to conic to ofir store
to get their suit or their shoes or a nice hat or some underwear
or maybe" it is a trunk or grip and a nice umbrella, and so on down the line. The confidence
in our method doing business is bringing us. hosts of customers every day. Will you come and
join our throng? YOURS FOR THE FUTURE,
