A Policy That Has Become Popular When we started in business—back in the eighties—we inaugurated a service that has since grown to be a feature in stores of character—offering an accommodating ar- rangement of payments. It was something different then—and has proven its ‘advantages by almost universal - adoption. Our idea of credit was unpenalized con- venience. Purchases of furniture and housefurnishings are really 'investments— involving a more or less large sum—and giving continual service. Why shouldn’t all well-meaning people be able to buy what is wanted—and take leisure to pay for it without weighing it down with a burden of interest; and binding it up with entang- ling red tape? It seemed to us a fair proposition—one that the public would appreciate—and so we made it a policy of our store—and it has been a feature of it ever since. The accommodation of credit, without embarrassment. A chargc account is opcnecl upon ? request—and you pay along as vou have agreed—all the while enjoying the use of your purchasc—without finan- cial inconvenience. It's such a simple thing—credit extended so cordially—and carried through so easily ~upon request, that’s all. Before Inventory
