We believe we have an entirely different theory of merchandising. Instead of taking in everything that can be sold at a profit, we do what the cottagers do at some Seashore resorts, namely, we put up at our windows and doors a species of mosquito netting strong enough to shut out every kind of merchandise that leaves a bite or sting upon our customers. Studying closely our customers' likings, we secure at sources of production and purchase for immediate cash down what we believe they desire, and mark everything at fair prices at the beginning of the season, which prices are adjusted afresh with every change in the markets, so that they sell quicldy and so that we do not need to have odds-and-ends, helter-skelter, hurry-scurry sales every week and a hurly-burly, come-quick, riddance sale. Does it not seem silly to put such big prices on when the goods come in and then be obliged to mark them down so much to get them sold? Think it over for yourself. Signed August 16, 10C1.
