A Frank Statement to the People of Hones dale and Vicinity : I WANT to get the trade of all the best people in Honesdale by proving that it will pay them to give me their business. Don't mistake my meaning when I say the "best" people. I have in mind the business, not the social, value of the man or woman when I say "best"; and while the rich and well-to-do are of course in cluded in my meaning of "best," the word expresses much more than that. The "best" class of trade is that largest number of the people of Honesdale who are thrifty; who look ahead; who plan to get the best value for the price they pay. They are settled; expect to remain here; have an interest in the general progress of our town ; and have an eye to the future in behalf of their children and their children's children. The "best" trade is not all rich, or even well-to-do, now; but it is far-sighted; has a good memory; and in time will buy more and more, and better and finer things, of the jeweler from whom it now buys the best it can afford if the jeweler deserves their continuing good will. This "best" trade stays with the jeweler who proves to his customers that it is best for them to stay with him. My plan -for getting this "best" trade is to invari ably sell what is best for my customer to buy. She does not always know what is best to buy; I do. I propose to put my knowledge entirely at her service, ignoring the temporary advantage to me in selling her what would (at present) pay me best to sell her. I am not looking for temporary gains ; I am building for the future on the foundation-rock of the public confidence. I am after, and will get, that confidence, whatever it costs nie in present profit on articles that it would pay me, now, to sell but would not pay my customer, to buy. I tell you frankly that I am no philanthropist; I am simply looking out for my interests when I look out for your interests ; I want your trade twen ty years from now as well as to-day; so I've got to make it pay you to deal with me by selling to you only such goods as will prove to you the advantage in dealing with me the really worthy goods, and none other. The "just-as-good" kinds (which are never just as good) will have no place in this store. The "best" class of trade the rich, and the fairly comfortable, and the thrifty poor will not stay with the jeweler who sells disappointing goods; and I want that "best" trade. The jewelry business is different from most others. In many other lines of trade the buyer can bank on her own judgment, more or less in buying cloth ing, groceries, house furnishings, and what not. But she does not have she cannot have any valuable judgment as to the difference, say, in two grades of diamonds, or two makes of watch cases. She must go by her faith in the jeweler; just as she must go by her faith in the doctor, or the lawyer, or the banker. Consequently, in no other line of merchandise is there greater opportunity for deception, or for selfishness, than the jewelry business presents, for the customer must rely on the jeweler to treat her squarely. Just in proportion as the customer's ignorance of values is greater than when buying other merchan dise, the jeweler's responsibility is greater in selling. Therefore, if the jeweler would build up anenduring business a business that would constantly widen through the favoring word of pleased customers he must secure that public confidence which is as much a part of his capital as it is of a banker's capi tal. So I shall strive to deserve the confidence of the people of Honesdale by invariably selling what is best for the customer to buy; by stating values as they truly are, in exact knowledge of their worth; and by an unvarying practice of "the square deal." H. G. ROWLAND, Jeweler, Main Street, HONESDALE. "Where Promptness Is a Habit."
