Were Yeu te Ask an Old
Man's Opinion Why
geme persons understand everything said te them
without asking explanations, the answer of long
experience would be that it is simply because they
listen closely and receive accurately what you are
saying.
Yeu will net believe it, possibly, but it is a fact
that half of the numbers' of people we talk with are
thinking of something else all the time one is speaking
te them.
A large percentage of court trial cases, it is said,
have grown out of misconceptions of contracts
because of faulty attention and misunderstanding at
the beginning of the transaction.
Please let us emphasize the fact that for mere
than half a century we have sought te be of service
te our patrons by bringing te them trustworthy
merchandise at just prices.
In these exciting times we find geed opportunities
te make geed savings, but as goods are still going
lower, it is well worth while te buy only what you
need.
