| Are there any other reasons for the
stores continued growth?
Yes 1t is pre-eminentIy the store
of the great masses.
How does that affect its business?
In this way: Every person, no mat
ter how humble or how rich, receives
cordial welcome at this store.
That doesn't make it quite clear. What
is meant by a Welcome?
Well then. let us give you the remark
that is heard dozens of times in this
store: II like to trade atJones' because
it's so honIe-like and every one is so
kind and accommodating. The rea-
son people are treated so kindly here is
because our force of help is one big,
happy family. We permit no BULLDOG
ing or driving of help in this store.
Our people being kindly treated extend
that same treatment to this store
guests and patrons.
On, 1 see. People come because they
get good bargains, which they can bring
back if they wish and turn into cash, and
they are treated kindly and fair
Yes, that's it exactly.
Well. are there any other reasons for
the great and increasing crowds at the
Jones store2
just listen to how the mighty bar
gains for this opening sale were pro-
cured: At HiaWatha, Kansas, a gen.
eraI dry goods firm sold their stock TO
this stores buyers at Il low price be-
cause they wanted to go out of bust
ness. The enamelWaPe manufacturers
held sale i'll St. Louis of all their
seconds" of graniteWare. The hard
ware buyer attended and bought three
car loads of granite so cheap we can
sell it at the prices of common tim
Ware-(One car load came to this To-
peka store). The china buyer visited
the potteries at East Liverpool, Ohio.
and other points, and he secured all
surplus stocks and lines the makers
were willing to close out. Hundreds of
other bargains not mentioned were
procured in this unique way of buy
ing. So you see, this is a different
sort of store.
Yes I admit that it is. It does seem
simple enough after all the marvellous
growth of this marvellous store.
Yes it is simple. As a finishing rea-
son for this stores continued growth,
we will say that no store in the coun-
try gives more prompt and satisfactory
service to its patrons than this store
gives
Well, I must say it is a strong case that
has been made out for the Jones store.
Well, it is no stronger than the plain
facts amply warrant
