K? i'- t i 1 This Big House of Ours Is Full of Music, for Christmas Is In the Air Not even the organ at St. Peter's, in Rome, or the organ in Royal Albert Hall, or St., Paul's, in London, could surpass the notes of sweetness that swell from the hearts of mothers and little children, jvho 'have thoroughly learned in past years that they may be at;home at all times under'our roof, People tell us that the Store was never so beautiful, big as it is and easy to go about in, since Ave have studied to make it so with wide aisles, always straight, and without danger of people being confused by turns and staircases. None cf our floors is ever so full that people feel that they are crowded. We are quite sure that we never saw at any Christmas time so many happy faces in the Store big people, as well as of the little folks. Somehow, even the little children know that they are never in the way and that nobody wishes to hurrythem; that they are always safe and well protected from any accidents, so far as human watch and care can make things. The great organ of the St. Louis Exposition is in the Court, and tinder the fingers and feet of the little girl who grew with the organ it plays at the intervals stated in the morning news, so that strangers visiting can say they heard the greatest organ in America if they want to do so. If they have any doubt of the leadership of the organ, and will write us, we will give the proof of its present standing. The tore opens 15 minutes earlier, at 8:45, and we are ready to serve the people at that time; and it keeps open until 5 :45, which is 15 minutes later than usual. We care just as much to luive people come and look and be at home as we do to have them buy, though that is the business for which the Store has been built. All we want them to do is to know enough when they want to buy anything that they will cdme back to us. We are not expecting to sell out and to have only to show a few straggling things that have been left over. We are quite willing to sell out everything, even to bare counters and tables and shelves, but we have in reserve great lots of goods ready to come in, so that in each section of the Store part of the things that are opened each morning were placed on sale in the night or before the doors open in the morning. m- Signed Dee. 5, 1919.
