A Kind Friend Has Called Our
Attention to One of Our Great
colleges, which in advertising its advantages
adds: "Study and play carefully supervised."
Primarily the foremost thought of this
business was to
(A) provide the most perfect building thai
could be devised for safety and health;
(li) to gather here from everywhere from
all countries (giving preference to the United
States) the best fabrics and articles that money
can buy;
And in addition to the above fundamentals,
(o create an attractive place for our patrons and
their families to entertain their children and
visiting friends while the shopping is being
done.
Remember the flags of all nations.
the bronze tablets to Lincoln,
Washington and Grant,
the memorial tablet to our boys of
the war.
the annual seasonable decorations,
such as at Christmas,
the organ, admittedly (he greatest in
the world.
AH our work and play is "carefully
supervised," as well as the collecting, pricing
and placing of merchandise, that comfort,
satisfaction and actual helpfulness be given, as
well as beauty and pleasure to all who honor us
with their presence.
