J November Selling Plans
HERE is no need for secrets in
modern business, and that
business prospers into great
est helpfulness te the public
that sets forth its case most simply and
clearly.
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.
