Our aim every day is to earn it and keep it. Now, in the light of these facts who won’t admit that the present loss in millinery profits won’t work out for us a far higger gain in the end than if we had held prices up as long as you would pay them—not putting them down till we had to? It may seem queer to ask you less on just what you want when you are willing to pay more. But if we do you'll think more of us for it, won’t you?
