Modern Merchandising
is as different from that of a gen
eration ago as modem housekeeping is unlike that of grandmoth
er's time. In those days ye merchant was called a storekeeper
andfhis efforts were possibly sufficient to his times. His stock
consisted of Blue Jeans , "Factory" Calicos , Sole Leather , Candlewick -
wick , Ax-Heads , Sugars , Teas , Coffees , and a few other primitive
necessities. Not a ready-to-wear article of any kind in stock ; not
a single thing different from last year's assortment ; style , mode ,
fit , finish , were terms and things foreign to the place.
How Different
is the modern store ! Its very ex
istence is dependent upon its ability to cater to the individual
tastes of the customer in matters of color , design , combination and
form , in offering the latest styles of made and unmade garments
for every season and every use.
Our Merchandising
is fully modem in the above re
spects. We make a study of our business. Our goods are care
fully selected for their good colors , their good styles , their suffi
cient weight , count , size and finish. Tape measure , magnifying
glass , scales and 20 years' experience in our line are all employed
in the buying of our goods , which are right in all respects.
