What has the Gimbel Store to offer?
Choice from collections of desirable goods of the value of Six Million
Dollars. "
Our New York store has an equally great stock. And our Milwaukee
Ltore a third as much. Such stocks are justified by the large selling and
Gimbel orders win favorable prices and the natural economies that come
-from handling goods in a large way. It costs a quarter to send a few pounds
C by freightj while a carload thirty to fifty tons costs only a few dbllars. In
I many ways volume lessens percentage of expense.

Umbel goods are garnered by foremost specialists m the lines. Lach
man or woman spends the whole time studying one group of things. If a
man quotes a dozen-price on shirts, the buyer knows the value of the goods,
yards required, cost of buttons and making. Pins to hold the folds are reck
oned by the cost per pound. The shoeman doesn t bother about shirts
doesn't know, till he reads this, that we insist on five buttons down front and
not the stingy four. But the shoeman knows how much the horsehide cost
that makes the cordovan leather. And so it goes. 'The jeweler knows dia
monds and emeralds and rubies; the perfumer knows the worth of the real
breath of violets and the worthlessness of make-believe odors.
The Gimbel Store shuns "cheap" goods, because they are dear to you
and the store's growth depends on its serving you well.
We sell inexpensive goods if worthy, and fine goods inexpensively.
Central Philadelphia squares or blocks should develop a fifty-million-'
dollar-a-year business. As business grows real service grows.
