Main Floor Pompeian Room. After a Trip, Through V Brandeis Stores I HAVE just made a trip over Brandeis Stores ac companied by the "Look-out in the Foretop." The "Look out," you know, is Just such . a being as the "joys" and "glooms," only biiger and easier to call. He shops at the elbow of every man and woman who enters the store, and he is always there to point out bargains to the cus tomer, just as in larger fields ne sights and points out bar gains for the store. Educational WE started at the top and worked down. Begin ning with the Toy Depart ment he explained things as we went "This," he said, "is a part of my work of which I am proud. Can you think of all these crowds coming into a store less completely prepared to take ,aare of them? Getting the tqys here is, after all, only the found ation of the structure of Sen-ice. We must make it easy for the "customers to buy. Extra salespeople In-' structed by our educational department to work in har mony with a well-thought-out system of quick sales opera tion, ntook mpn and cirls in keep merchandise always at nana, ounaie wrappers ana cashiers, trained to be quick and accurate are only a few of the cogs in the efficient wheel of Service. Unlimited SPACE helps to avoficl con fusion," he said, as we came to the fifth floorfrhese thousands upon thouslnds of beautiful pieces of china, electric goods and hcaisehold necessities could not be displayed-to advantage tor sold in a comfortable manner without It So here we have an entire floftr demoted to these departments. And on the fourth floor, nJgs, pic tures and draperies in such assortments as can only be gathered by a close watch -from the 'Foretqp. Look About. You ART," he continued, as we reached the third floor, "is a child of many parents. Look about you and see what we have here art pieces from every part of the globe, In most cases representing separate purchases, the out . growth of the 'Lookout' sys tem. On the second floor look at the furs purchased with a view to furnishing our customers with the best in service and style, as well as giving them the convenience of low prices. Speed ON the main floor, the logical place for keep-; ing the smaller and more varied items, we find gloves and salespeople who under stand the fitting of them; Jewelry of every description; handkerchiefs for all people; hosiery, silk, lisle, wool and cotton; toilet goods; ribbons, neckwear, and trimmings; silks, dress goods and linens. And for the benefit of ;the hurried shopper who does not wish: to take time to go to the upplr floors, there are squares filled with art goods, china, electrical goods and other things from all depart ments of the store, brought down here just to facilitate quick and easy purchases. Foundations A ND down in the basement thes foundation of the store in more ways than ono are blankets and domestics, which everyone must buy from time to time, and also the low price store where people of moderate means are able to supply their needs and fancies at prices made possible only through the system known as The Look out in the Foretop."
