An UNLIMITED Stock
olives the Buyer
AN UNLIMITED CHOICE.

However commonplace this statement
sounds, 1t is worth your consideration.
When you 90 shopping you have an idea of
what you want TO buy and what you can
afford to pay. suppose you so to store
whose stock ia limited; 1t may be a SNOWY
stock, but it's shallow stock, being def
cient in variety Of grades and prices. The
salesman knows his stock is limited, he in
tends TO sell you something; to sell lou
what you want II be has IL, and what you
don't want Ii he has not got what you are
seeking. He goes TO work artfully; tries
a line or two as d feeler; finds out that
what you want isn't in his stock; speaks
disparagingly of that class of goods; and
so on, until YOU buy something he makes
you think YOU want; but something you
did not want when you LETT home, and
something YOU don't want when you are at
home again with your purchase. Don't
blame the man 100 much. He wants to
sell and does What he can with his stock.
