Also during the vear we have acquired a new warehouse, which will “enable us to place under one roof—our delivery plant, warehouse, and manufacturing shops, thus greatly im- proving the facilities for these activities. Not only have we been constantly striving to improve our physical appearance, but the newest and highest quality mer- chandise, at right prices, has been of even greater importance tous. At no previous time have we been able to offer such fine quality merchandise, in such large variety. It has ever been a fundamental principle of this store, that with our knowledge, no item of equal quality may be offered elsewhere at a lower price than we have it marked. An efh- cient shopping service is maintained to help us attain this ideal. If difference should occur at any time, we would ap- preciate having it brought to our attention. Our foreign connections have been extended, so that in addi- tinn to our representation in the Orient, and buving offices in London, Paris, Berlin, Vienna, Brussels, Frankfort, Florence, many of our buvers will make their usual trips to the four corners of the world in scarch of the newest and best. We have great faith in the continued progress of Washington: in its development as a world center; In its growth as a home community; in its greater attractiveness to men and women of every part of the United States, and it shall ever be our aim and achievement to meet, in the fullest measure, the de- mands made upon us by such a discriminating clientele, FRATERNITY VOTES NEW OFFCES HER 2250,020 Bu ! ing Wvll House Head- qguarters.
