"No customer must be allowed to leave the store , insli pplied," that is one of the orders given at Oak Hall for the present crisis. Not that the salesmen are to be rudely importunate, or to try to over-per t,urt,le any one, but that such pains shall be taken to olit and such accommodation made on prices that d i/ will, of their own free accord, desire to buy, It is in many respects unfortunate to have to interrupt the regular course of their fall and winter business which was so brisk and heavy; yet the misfortune of the death of a partner is unavoidable, and one o ompensation which the house will receive for its present sacrifice of goods will be many new custom ers who will be first brought to Oak Hall by this opportunity of making a good trade.
