What Does it Mean to You ?
THIS is a practical age. If you are not practical you are out
I of joint with the times but you'll grow practical.
The great big problem in every home is to adjust
income to needs and this is true, be income of what
size it may.
What Store serves?
The answer is interesting a considerable step toward
meeting the homely problem of life.
What is value? It does not lie in gaudiness and spangles,
unless one is merely getting up a Hallowe'en or play costume.
We want durability in every thing of life : friendships and
apparel; things that will last.
Take boys' and girls' clothing and shoes. Wrongly bought
the money is almost wasted. Not only do good goods wear best,
but they look best and average least in cost.
Naturally the store can best furnish them that has and
employs the instrumentalities of modern business in your
behalf. '
What Does it Hold for You?
It would be short-sighted to buy a Paris garment from some
shop whose people never went to Paris. Catch the idea? real
ness is possible only under practical conditions.
Those who dress best waste least ; those who, by going to
stores that do not know or care ; those who should spend most
carefully, are the ones who really buy wastefully.
A Greater Philadelphia will eliminate waste and improve
efficiency. No new natural advantage has been found we all
are simply learning better how to use and improve what exists.
Every million dollars the Gimbel Store adds to the total of
its annual sales enables us to sell cheaper, for rent,, heat, light
and management cost no more we shall have pulled down the
overhead.
Each Day's List of Specially -Priced Goods
Should be Promptly Availed Of
In many cases lots will be entirely sold out in a day. Yet
the Store holds Five Million Dollars' Worth of Goods.
