Chimes at Strode of Noon
he Annual Glove Sale Tomorrow Will Bring Thousands of Pairs
of Gloves at A verage Half Regular Prices
There Is an Overpowering
Impulse Upon Us to Thank
Everybody Over Again
fho were our guests last month, and were so
considerate of the fact that, while we had
ilenty of merchandise, wc did not have plenty
)f attendants to receive and serve them intelli
gently. We simply did the best we could under
the circumstances.
Fortunately, the most of our absent men
will come 1)ack to us, and wc will begin at once
to train others to take the places of those who
do not choose to return, who left us for the high
pay of government offices, possible because of
war agencies.
We have the consciousness of having
trained thousands for soldiery and sailory and
for systematic service of whom the government
availed itself.
Thus did we serve our country better than
we knew. It is a grateful contribution toward
the victory of peace.
What Comes Next?
Every nerve of this Store is touched by the
all-controlling force of its leaders to make the
Store serve the public which approves of its
purpose and methods.
Wc are not here alone to sell goods at a
profit.
We are here to have what people want 'and
to give it to them at the most moderated profit
possible.
