It cer tainly set many people to thinking*. “Safety First” means systematic endeavor and orderly procedure in all matters. It may be ap plied with advantage in in dividual, social and business allair*, you nave orten no- a* - ticed in The Brandeis Store Ads the picture of “The Lookout in the Fore top.” Do you know what that means? In brief it means “Safety First” as applied to the buy ing and selling arrangements of The Brandeis Store. It is the symbol of the system which, in the parlance of the street, is “Always ob the Job” in this business institution. Not long ago a writer In the New York Commercial said: “‘The Lookout in the Fore top’ is a picture phrase of splendid beauty. The pilot in his cabin, the engineer below deck, the captain, the mate, passengers, stevedores, trav elers and crew alike are dependent on ‘the look out in the foretop.” Likewise the buying public is dependent upon the systematic operation of the mercan tile institution with which they chiefly do busi- i ness. To this “Safety First” system is due the many advantages which The Brandeis Store custom ers habitually obtain. It is the system that has been organised to take advantage of bargain opportunities and feeling out market conditions. Immense sums of cash are often necessary to close an exceptional bargain. A part of “The Lookout in the Foretop” system is such an ar- j rangement in our financial affairs that we can meet any bargain emergency that may arise. Even in the face of high prices undeveloped signs indicating a fall in prices are detected and our customers profit by it. A manufacturer or jobber loaded down with desirable goods and in need of immediate funds is readily discov ered. Our customers reap the benefit. "The Lookout in the Foretop" gives the as surance that with each passing day The Bran deis Store’s history for FTices, Quality and Ser vice will repeat itself. When that has been said nothing need be added for a discriminating buy ing public to understand that that is a fine demon stration of “Safety First” as applied to-a mer cantile institution. J. L.
