THE STORE AND THE TRADE.

A study Of this ground plan, incom-
plete as it is, will give you better idea
of the store, and of what is in it, than de-
scription can do. The store covers Il
acres; basement is under and galleries
are over, part. The whole affords
somewhere about 5 acres of room.
This particular business is years old;
it began in 1876 with clothing; in 1877
it became general store with such goods
as you see in the plan, with carpets, up
holstery, furniture, and Notwithstanding
upstairs. Since that time gallery after
gallery has been added; and there is
not an inch of room to spare anywhere.
To the surprise of many, it has flourished
while trade was languishing almost
everywhere else.
To us there is no mystery about it;
nothing surprising even; unless it be
surprising that SO conspicuous business
should ever be misunderstood. We do
nothing more than simply to provide
facilities for your getting what you want.
We don't mean to say that other
facilities are not provided for distributing
goods; but that's different thing.
We provide so that you get what you
want, exactly 7ohaf J'ou 7oant! In the
first place we've got it. In the second
place we send it. And if we send you
the wrong thing, or if you think the
charge is too much, you bundle it back
The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1880-10-23


We tell of these things in the news
papers, because there are thousands OF
YOU who don't know what we are
doing; thousands of you don't know the
character of the stock that fills these 5
acres; thousands of you who, therefore,
buy where you pay more money.
We are every merchants fair and
open competitor We do not expect to
gather millions of trade from all over
the country without meeting opposition
and misrepresentation. Some will be-
lievc whatever is said against us. The
only answer we make is: Send back
whatever you don't want at the price.
We want your trade. You want our
goods; or would want them, if you
knew. No matter how far away you
may be; you will do we'll to send to
US for some things. We ask you to
write to us about something you have
present occasion for.
When we get in communication with
YOU, we shall have one means of winning
your trade, viz, by pleasing you. When
we have won it, we shall have one means
of keeping it, viz. by dealing with you
as we deal with everybody: giving you
large return for your money, and sup
plying your wants SO intelligently that
YOU will write us for what you want as
naturally as you say good morning
to your next-door neighbor.
