New Summer Merchandise Is Here for Your Selection
The Value of Prestige
Prestige U a omethinf which is not achieved over
night or created at will. It is too big, too fine, too valu
able a possession to be acquired in a hurry. The
prestige of the Burgesa-Nash Company is its most prized
asset Through prestige the Burgess-Nash Company
occupies an enviable position in the market, equaled
only by a few of the largest stores in the country. But
at home it is that part of prestige which stands for con
fidence, dependability and likability, that the Burgess
Nash Company aims ever to increase.
