Tf underlying plans are well laid, a business develops step by step, almost unnoticeably better day by day as viewed by the daily visitor until it emerges into an almost new being. The White Herse pike was rebuilt, here and there, with gaps very provok prevok provek ingly left, but working te a plan, until finally the great roadway te the sea was completed. In Delaware, the great highway given the State by General du Pent is in the same way piece-mealing itself into what will be the greatest piece of read in the United States a streak of smooth ness the whole length of the State. - Year after year this business has been working toward an ideal te be in every way the very best store in Philadelphia. It wasn't enough te lead in a few lines though every unit of leadership was helping en the ideal. Outposts had te be established here and there ever the earth that has been a twenty-year task, and still te be extended. Our importance te manufacturers had te be increased we've had te promote sales te accomplish thai. Our three stores here and in New Yerk- and Milwaukee have been driven full speed ahead and a year or mere age we joined buying forces with another group of stores; all in the drive for pur chasing power. This Greup of Stores Has an Annual Output of a Hundred and Forty Millien Dollars New, the millions in Pennsylvania Railroad investment; the skill of its men and the amplitude of safety devices is only a picture te you 3s stated in figures. Its real interest te the individual, te you, rests in the fact that it offers swift and safe transportation wherever you desire te go; All that the Gimbel organization has done all that its immense output means te you, if it is te mean anything is the assurance that you can best be served here in your daily shopping. One thing you must have and that is satisfying assortments from which te cheese here in fair supply te meet the instant needs of a large city. Great stocks have been part of the Stere's development and we confidently believe that The Gimbei Stere Has the Largest Collection of Goods in Philadelphia Value-giving has been the winning thing in the whole plan, offering you Choice from immense stocks. Choice from stocks where any selection is safely geed. Choice of millinery and garments where styles ring true; Men's clothing and boys' where intrinsic quality is joined with geed fashion. Shoes en a peace-basis of price and of undoubted quality and. all at prices as low as our wit and work and capital can give. It isn't easy te build a big thing, or te rock-rib any success. Tlie public has te be wen by appeal te its judgment and its personal interest. It isn't easy. When Westinghouse took his discov ered air brake te the president of the New Yerk Central Railroad, even the astute Vanderbilt wasn't te be wen ever hadn't any time te waste en feel schemes. The Pennsylvania Railroad was at last convinced that there was something in it and it was first put en a read the Pennsy didn't then own. A man has made it possible te double the geed-appearance endurance of a shirt by putting extra buttonholes in the cuff, se that the edge exposed te weair is fre quently changed. Uncle Sam gave him a patent en it and it in nowise makes the shirt freakish. It really "doesn't show' but when, te help the inventor, we offered the shirts at average half price splendid silk shirts we sold less than five thousand dollars' in a clay. It isn't-easy. Tlie institution that looms large to day represents work and planning before which tee many people quail. The air brake wen. The telephone wen. The Victer Talking Machine wen. The automobile wen. Gimbels wen. Tlie quality of study and work that has built this business has kept it growing October, despite pessimists, brought a vast increase in business. That of itself doesn't interest you, but this does "If Gimbels can keep en in creasing business, then there is business te be had through effort." "If se many thousand people buy regularly at Gimbels they must be getting best return's f or money spent." "Dees it concern me te be sure of having the best for my money? the best in intrinsic value, fashion and desirability?" Te Drive Business Even Harder, We Propose te Start January Reduction Sales right new te lessen our stocks by two million dollars this month preparing for further, harder driving of business. We Can Only Win by Value-Giving.
