We sold a Suit Saturday to a
St. Louis traveling man. He was a total
stranger to us we had never seen or heard of him before.
This is his comment after making the purchase
"I would rather buy in a good clean
small town store (like this) than to buy in a large city
store. In the small town store I can deal with a man who
has authority, who knows his business, and takes special
pains to give me what 1 ask for; whereas in the large city
store I am waited on by a S12 a week clerk, who would
rather sell me undesirable merchandise, and make a qood
fat p. m. pin money) for himself, than to give me what I
really want."
In other words, the proprietor of a
large city store offers a fat premium, known as a p. in. to
his sales people who are sufficiently glib of tongue to work
off undesirable stuff on an unsuspecting public.
Our stocks are fresh and clean. V e
own no merchandise upon which we have to offer a pre
mium to get rid of.
