It ts pointed out that the competition which is the life of all trade has developed in department stores edu- cational and recreative features of remarkable variety and scope, That is to say, it has been wonderfully atimulative in “free shows” to attract the buyer. Until within recent years a woman going to a depart- ment store to buy made her purchase and departed; there was nothing to keep her longer. Then came pro- vision for her comfort In a waiting-room, where she| « coukl rest and meet her friends by appointment, Res- tanrants followed, in eome of which excellent meals are now served at reasonable rates.
