I f'1 Thort A "NT v I ''I-f 1Tko xxxexe iiic J,1U XiiXico y In Business Whatever is of interest to any vis itor, in a matter of the smallest article, in or out of the Store, is of interest to the Store, and it often deserves strict and prompt notice and attention to link the Store with a small service well done as well as a large one. The store that is most particular in attending to the smallest affairs will be most likely to be trusted with the larg est affairs. Always bring with you a good bas ketful of patience because there are a few people who are censorious, but who would be shocked if they did not know it and you told them. We are not here to see faults in others and we must never say: "Oh, that person is unreasonable"; let some other person tell them. Let it alone yourself! . Some people, without knowing it, carry with them a magnifying glass, with which they see, when they wish, other people's imperfections. Do not point out your own innocences and point out other people's scars. The current coin of the Store must be that of golden good humor and most pleasing courtesies, that the visitor will remember the Store with pleasure. hmK. Signed Sept. 5, 1018.
