I)
The Secret That Makes a
Store a Real Store
and so frames it as to give and receive
the most good will, with always more
good will to spare, is that we fit the store
to the people, who know that to be the
fact, and give us their business with con
fidence, and with a knowledge that they
are safe in so doing
The displays of new goods are worth
seeing before they are carried oil' by the
eager purchasers of these days.
