A MESSAGE FROM
THE MANAGER
Did you ever realize the obligation under which a pood store
Stands towards its public? We would be a very poor store if we
kept in stock only the things we wanted to sell.
This store must always suit you and serve you.
We must always have exactly the merchandise you want.
We must be continuously thinking about you and what you
desire, instead of thinking about ourselves and what the manufac
turers want to sell us.
Every day and hour we are planning and promoting this store's
merchandise and service for you and your friends and neighbors.
We are giving you our earnest work, and all we know of good
merchandise and your desires, to make this store continuously more
helpful to you.
Are you taking full advantage of what we are doing to meet your
desires and convenience?
Won't you come in and see the merchandise we are showing,
and if the thing you want is not here, or if there is any other service
which we could render you, which we are not supplying,
Won't You Be Kind Enough to Tell Us
Our Shortcomings?
We realize some of them and these we are striving to overcome,
but perhaps errors often occur or deficiencies are noticed, of which
we should be made aware.
Tell us if we fail you in any point of our service. It is only
by knowing the desire that is in your own mind, that we can make
this store continue to serve you better every day and every year.
This is our chief ambition. / -*

NOTHING TOO NEW OR
FASHIONABLE IN HARRISBURG
Policy That Mas Made the
Doutrlcha Store
Famous
OetHUiftO llurrtnburai ftn to popula
tion, 1* not i\ largo metropolis—this Is
not the sllKhtest I'oafton In the world
why anyone should think that our
peoplo do not desire tlio tmmo oppor
tunities for shopping that are afford
ed by the metropolitan stores. Dout
richs have always built upon the
policy that their stores should serve
their patrons as well as though they
were located in the most aristocratic
shopping avenue of any big city; ser
vice however, that is far more reason
able than that given by any of these
aristocratic shops. The latter sell their
reputation and ring in with their high
prices. Their enormous overhead ex
penses.'ttoutrichs have been satisfied
to build up a good name but without
saddling exorbitant eharges bn their i
t
customers and as their overhead is so
much less, theis* customers benefit ae
■ eordlngly..
The close and friendly relations be
tween the members of the ftoutrleh
sales force keep the entire organisa
tion on the qui vlve. When the depart
ment buyers return from their fre
quent trips to Now York', Philadelphia
and other markets, every salesman
evinces us much interest in the latest
offerings of fashion for men and
young men which they bring back, as
though the goods were bought for
their personal use. Go into Doutrlchs
any day, inquire as to the minutest
question which may arise concerning
a suit of clothes, a dressy top coat, a
fine silk shirt, or a dressy necktie, In
fact anything in men's wear and you
will find the clerk in charge of the
department ready to answer the ques
tion instantly. The salesmen make it
their busings to keejJ Just as Well in
formed concerning the Sleeks tarried
by the store as the department buyers.
The result is that ail esprit dd Corps
abundantly exists ht Ihd beutrich
stores and the Satisfaction fef patrons
In making purchases is bound te fol
low-.
Every clerk in the store knows that
It Hi Doutricht the directing head of
the flrn;, considers that nothing is toe
new or too fashionable for the people
of Harrlsburg, and loyally they follow
his lead and serve the store's patrons
as they know Mr. Doutrldh Would
serve tliem were he doing their Work,
It Is largely due to the practical ex
perience of these people that Harrls
burg shoppers have the of
being able to procure In Harrisburg
the newest fashion as early
us New York or Philadelphia shop
pers. Their practical knowledge and
experience Is Buch that they know how
to anticipate the demands of the
store's patrons, as to style, variety and
prices.
The spirit existing at Doutrlchs
welcomes suggestions and criticisms
of patrons, and because the custimers
do register complaints on the few oc
casions that they are not entirely sat
isfied, the friends of the store fortify
the management with the amunl-
