THIS STORE’S A store is no store at all that only barters its merchandise for money, conducting its business in a drab, impersonal way. to-day comprehends service, and service as we vari- SERVICE ously define it is— WORKING FOR ANOTHER— AN OFFICE OF DEVOTION— ASSISTANCE AND KINDNESS TO OTHERS Merchandising—that is, trading in goods—is of secondary importance, as there can be little exchange of commodities where the essentials of service are wanting. Storekeepers of to-day have so deeply im- planted service as a part of selling that the reactiorary tradesman who refuses it soon lands on the cor:mercial junk heap of bankruptcy. This store progresses because it renders good ser- vice and sells GOOD GOODS ONLY. New Fall Merchandise Arriving Daily. Fit Out the Children COTTONWOOD MERCANTILE CO.
