and littleness. Philadelphia is making ready for the
greatest Christmas observance ever known.
Philadelphia has helped'this store to reach magnifi
cent proportions in business, and as you would rightfully
expect fruit from a tree of your growing, you have the
right to lean on Gimbels for service.
This statement is made with exactness
First. To give you comfortable assurance;
Second. To make our staff realize its respon
sibilities. Just this is asked of our customers
Please see that salesperson gets your name
(and initials) and address correctly; also the name
and address of the person to whom we are to deliver
goods.
With every care that any store can give, it is quite
impossible that every salesperson in a staff of five
thousand could recall with accuracy your initials and
address. And bookkeepers they never come in contact
with you. They must have actual, correct data to enter
on the books.
