us through the spreading of in
formation about our business.
Indeed, we regard the presence
Of strangers itself as a benefit !;
for no one will ever see so novel
a spectacle as the store presents
without a desire to know some
thing of the singular trade. that
fills it.
The accidental and peculiar
novelty of the place brings a
great deal of attention to our
business; but, if there were
nothing better than idiosyncracy
here, our trade would scarcely
profit by the attention of pass
ers by. What is it, then, that
constitutes the real permanent
attractiveness of the place ?
There are other large stores
here and elsewhere; excellent
ones, where excellent goods are
kept. What is it that adds
thousands to our daily throng,
and a million to our trade every
year? Ask the people Of our
city. Ask those of your own
village, a thousand miles awayit
may be, who may happen tohave
learned the way to us by mail.
If we we're to put in 4 few
words what constitutes the real
attraction here, we should say
that we make a business of look
ing after the interests of our GUS
toners. Others do the same to
a generous extent. 1t is said of
us every day that we go beyond
reason in looking after the inter-
ests of our customers. We don't
mean to 60 beyond reason; but,
when people say that we do 60
beyond reason, they thereby
prove that we are foremost in
liberal dealing.
What constitutes the spectacle
here is the multitude; the trade;
the provision to meet it that has
grown up with the trade; the ia
cilities for fastening the neces-
sary delays in transactions; the
provisions for the comfort of our
own people, of buyers and Of
visitors; the seeming forgetful-
ness of costs; prodigality of ben
ehts.
