"A Purchaser Remembers Quality Lon After She Forgets Price" " tf'
And he might have added "Prices mean nothing, it's quality that counts." Price making
is the least of the merchandising arts. Quality at a bargain price is the supreme evidence of superb
ority! In this latter respect we excel. You buy a something at Bennett's,' you know the Bennett
guarantee is in it, through it and back of it. It means much to be able to say "I bought it at Ben
nett's," It is the evidence of shrewd merchandising on your part, and it isa positive proof of de
pends bleness. We guarantee everything we sell; as a matter of fact, we will not sell anything we
cannot guarantee, and every transaction is subject to the over-governing principal of "Your
Money's Worth or Your Money Back' with Gresn Trading Stamps thrown in with every purchase

and who had Just read aloud oertain para

" 'For nothing,' I replied, 'except the
privilege of appealing to the generosity of
the companies. Every one of your policies
contains conditions which exempt the com

out of ten. If the compunie Insist on ths
letter of the iKilicies and will pay no more
than tiiey can be compelled to pay you
will get only a very small portion of your
insurance.'
' 'But,' said he, 'I accepted these policies
without reading them. I did not know
even the names of the companies. It hat
been my custom for years to give my ln
aurance to a broker, a very good fellow,
who parceled It out as be pleased. A little

"With nearly every client that came to
my office in San, Francisco I bad a similar
conversation. The carelessness of Ameri
can business men in the .matter of insur
ing their property against f re is astound
ing. Not a few of them are so thoughtless
as to keep their policies In the same prem
ise with the Insured property. The ex
perience of policy holders In Ban Fran
cisco contains many warning lessons for
merchants, manufacturer, landlords, law
yer, and even the small householders in
every city of the United Stakes. How many
policy holder are aware that perhaps s
majority of the fire insurance companies
doing business in the United States have a
surplus and capital of tuOu.000 or leas; that
fully a Quarter of th number of companies
own asset of less than ISiO.OOU hardly
enough for a general merchandise store in
a prosperous country townand that on
this exiguous capital they carry a total of
policies running high Into the millions and
often have in one city and exnoaed to de
struction by one conflagration risks of an
aggregate equal to several time the total
resources of the company concerned?"
