- The. Store is handling vastly more business than ever but from a new
standpoint. December business used to be plain, hard drudgery wearing- on
everybody customers and store people.
Now short hours; many mechanical helps; quick wrapping and change
giving; ample delivery fleet and a spirit of co-operation, helpfulness, service.
In a staff of five thousand people it is possible to encounter a headache, but
we guarantee you that you shall not face a grouch.
Buyers, management and staff are at one with the owners in holding
Gimbels to the new standard in storekeeping. This new standard has had more
than three years' trial now. It holds. Your interests held first, ours, to serve.
Accuracy of service; accuracy of statement each section a richly-stocked
store
The Jewelry store in hands so skilled as to be called upon in trade confer
ences. Gems, jewelry, plate, watches the business shows mastery
and steady good value-giving.
It is known that Gimbels were large factors against war-extortion in shoes;
only accepting clearly-shown production advances.
In garments for men and women, we held to rigid goodness, when shoddy
was general and other stores feared to fight for fast colors and to
guarantee.
In foods and confections, government and state organizations realize that
v Gimbels fixed new high standards of excellence and held, them. Safe
quality and moderate charge.
The Gimbel Toy Store is the joy spot of Philadelphia and it interests you",
who have Santa Claus to back up, as greatly as it does the children.
Of course, every small child will ride a pony be sure and see that the
ride isn't missed. Of course, no charge; no tips. The ponies, one of
the finest herds of registered Shetlands, are for sale. A number have
been sold.
Please consider this all as your store to enjoy; its services to command.
