The War Taught Us
Many Good Lessons
The necessity for conservation during the war
resulted in a number of more ot 'less mandatory recom
mcndaticns from the Government which had a tremendous
effect in abolishing wasteful practices and processes in
production and distribution in almost every line of
merchandise.
Manufacturers and retaileis tlu'ouglwut the country,
and, what is still more important, THE PUBLIC also,
learned that the elimination of certain extravagant methods
was MUTUALLY ADVANTAGEOUS, and that n.anv
relorms adopted as war-time measures could be and should
be continued as permanent peace-time policies.
For example, the public now
privilege of RETURNING AND-
fully realises that the
EXCHANGING MERCHANDISE
Had" become a wasteful habit which, in the long run. was
as expensive to th.2 customer as to the Store itself.
Therefore, our customers will be vcrv glad ttT co
operate with us in preventing a return to the too-free
indulgence in the habit of returning goods, knowing that it

whether the error is our own or the customer's. It is
expecteH. of course that reasonable care shall have been
exercised in select.on of merchandise, and it is also ex
pected that when a customer has good reason to return
any article, it shall be brought to the Store personally
whenever possible to do so. and WITHIN THREE DAYS
from time of purchase.
