ffi TT seems quite unbelievable to many that Gimbels even partakes of the goodness of specialty
stores.
m TT is a real fact that the true specialists seek connection with this store because the vast busi-
m 1 ncss enables them to get larger returns for their own skill and services.
s OHERE is narrowness in little things; there is lack of incentive; there is so little to bring out
Jb JL creative work.
$1 TI7E are entirely justified in having our specialist go to Florence, Italy, and search out real
3ft VV sculptors to make the marbles we sell even the small pieces.
& TTJST as it is justifiable for us to send another buyer to gather pictures.
A KD an entirely different person to gather corals.
A PROMINENT surgeon of Philadelphia, asked what was the medical center of the United
States, answered: "Rochester, Minnesota because in that little town two wonderful surgeons
have made a Mecca for the halt and a heaven for specialists to whom, assistants and co-laborers,
properly large recompense is given."
ALL of which explains the Gimbel position and why such beautiful, worthy articles are found
here. We can afford to be specialists; we attract specialists. One French pottery is being
kept in operation by Gimbel orders.
There is charm and utility combined irk the gifts suggested in
this group.
