A lady customer at one OF
the Special Sale Counters re-
marked: at must have been
a misprint, but the LEDGER "
said three cents a yard"
1t was not a misprint ; the
Ledger" did say three cents a
yard. and said just right.
Where, then, is the trouble !?
Just this: the inquiry was
made at the wrong counter, and
some Of our own sales people
did not know enough Of our
own advertising to direct the
lady to the right place, which
was the dusty dress goods
counter east Of main aisle and
north OF centre.
This touches a practical diff
fculty. You and the goods
you want are both here. How
are you to meet ? When you
strike a difficulty apply to an
Aisle Manager. And espe-
cially if you fail to find an ad,
vertised article, or think you
have found on any such a
wrong price, seek an Aisle
Manager. Unnecessary find the
highest authority present.
We are keenly sensitive
about advertising statements.
They are meant to be scrupu-
lously exact. If any fallibility
causes them to be otherwise we
want to know the fact and the
why.
That's the sort of store doc.
trine we live by.

day and day before, and will
come down this morning, and
