That we are doing the biggest retail business in Greater New York is not astonishing. It is wholly logical. The store is a mammoth and wonderfully attractive exposition of good merchandise. Low prices twinkle brightly everywhere throughout the big establishment. We invade all the important markets of the world. We buy in greater quantities than any other store; we sell more. This naturally signifies that we can ask lower prices. We never discriminate in any particular. Non-trading stamp collectors obtain as many advantages here as our other custom- ers. Weare not in any sens¢ wedded to the stamp system, but exploit it’simply as a form of advertising—as an extra trading inducement for those who care to profit in that way. Those who do not desire the stamps need not take them, but they are, nevertheless, benefited by trading here. This is a colossal business, and we are building higher and stronger each day, but not upon the basis of any trading stamp proposition. ‘ lere are some of the reasons why The Big Store prospers so $plendidly: REASON 1!—It gives all who patronize it effi- clent and intelligent service. REASON 2—It sells nothing ‘but thoroughly reliable merchandise, REASON 3—Everything Is seasonable. REASON 4—We do not exaggerate; we never misrepresent. If goods purchased are not satis- factory in every respect they can be returned. REASON 5—Uniformly low prices. ‘Better goocs for the same money, or the same goods for less money than elsewhere."* Women's Wrappers & Kimonos Are Attractively Priced To-Morrow.
