Wft haven't the honor of knowing MR. BERNARD
SUTTLER personally. But we have just read nn ar
ticle in the current number of THE ATLANTIAN from
his pen on COMMISSION GOVERNMENT. It is
neither for nor against the plan. It is the JUSTEST,
SANEST, PUREST discussion • of the subject we have
ever read. DON’T MISS IT.
We give OUR PUBLIC efficient service and
honest values. Had we done less, the store would
never have reached its present state of develop
ment.
Our position as RETAILERS is fixed. We are
established with precision. Our methods are kuown
to all. No doubts are attached to them.
The TRADE BENEFITS we accord customers
simply convey our notion of GOOD-WILL.
No one should judge us wholly by the con
crete bargain bought here. The money we may
have saved you does not completely represent the
bond between us.
The ECONOMY you enjoy here is merely an
EFFECT. Don’t let the actual dollars saved on a
purchase absorb all your appreciation. T h i n k
deeper. Consider the purity aud devotion of our
INTENTION.
»
Our INTENTION is to bestow practical bene
fits WILLINGLY.
The system that operates is not the child of
coldly calculated discretion nor of selfish expe
diency. Merchants have lived who planned that
way. They ultimately swelled the ranks of the
needy ones.
We are constantly studying how NOT to sell
merchandise. That’s a strange phase of the situa
tion. Read it again. In the capacity of store
keepers we spend considerable time learning how
NOT to sell goods.
.. . Our meaning is . obvious.
It would be stupid for us to sell you
things that you may not desire and can
not use.
It would be contemptible for us to win
your confidence and then attempt to sell
you things that are of no account.
It would be low and mean and vulgar
for us to impose on your credulity or ig
norance and sell you things at exorbi
tant prices.
The other day a lady selected a Hat in our Mil
linery Department. She liked it. The price was
satisfactory. It would have been a sale— but for
one thing’ She asked the clerk if the Hat was be
coming to her. The answer was a frank “No.” We
didn’t wish to sell our customer that particular
Hat, because we did not think it looked pretty on
her head.
However, it was THE Hat that appealed’to her
taste, and. under the circumstances, she decided to
defer buying any other Hat. /
Had we not advised against the purchase, what
would have happened? She would have bought
the Ilat. The error in her selection would have
been nuicklv realized. THEN THE HAT WOULD
HAVE ALWAYS BEEN IN HER EYE AND ON
HER MIND.
It would have been an IMPROPER SALE.
Nearly all RETAILERS are in business for one
purpose—TO SELL.
That’s why children buy pistols, madmen buy
poison, cheats buy marked cards, and the shallow
buy silly books. It's like selling spectacles to a
blind man.
It is our INTENTION to be KIND and to sell
you the right things cheerfully without BEGGING
you to buy.
No one who comes beneath our roof is permitted
to wear a sour face. Our people are modest and
polite. They SWEETEN every sale with the grace
of courtesy. Hapghty looks, arrogant action, inso
lent words—really qvou 71 have to search hard to
find them in any store^-unless you surprised an
isolated case unawares.
We’ve been in business a long time. Wc make
money out of it. WE WOULDN’T BE HAPPY
IF WE DIDN’T. To just drag along, managing
only to pay expenses, would be terrible. We’d
rather quit than not be busy. We leave nothing to
luck or chance. INTELLIGENCE and ENTER
PRISE never do.
The heart of the business is sound. Therefore,
we are not ashamed of its success.
