To Our Patrons
In accord with the suggestions of the Economy Board at
Washington, and the retail division of the Chamber of
Commerce, The Blake Shop requests the co-operation of its
customers as far as is conveniently possible in regard to the
following:
FIRST—When shopping, do not leave the store empty-handed.
Carry parcels with you to the extent of your ability. Help to make
this "the fashion."
SECOND —When you have goods to be returned, do not leave home
empty-handed. If all customers would carry small parcels for ex
change, the saving of time in delivery departments would amount to
thousands of hours annually.
THIRD—Do not buy merchandise until you are sure you are going
to keep it. Make a careful selection a habit.
FOURTH —Avoid C. O. D. purchases whenever possible.
FIFTH Shop early in the day. If possible. Stores must have a
sufficient number of salespeople all day long to handle the trade at
the very busiest hour. To help us distribute the business more evenly,
would result In great economy—to us and eventually to you.
SIXTH—Any articles of merchandise, which for some good reason
Is to be returned to a store, must be returned, within a reasonable
time —five business days. \
SEVENTH —Non-returnable articles: AH goods cut from the piece
at the request of the customer. All merchandise which has been
made to order or specially ordered, and which is not regularly carried
in stock.
SEASONABLE SUGGESTIONS
Beautiful Cretonnes for summer draperies and slip covers. Fancy

United States Government will control the coal

We do not see wherein the United States Gov

The same labor must be used and unless this can
