PRESENT DAY REIMBURSEMENT

 The remarkable success of this pro- gressive firm is another proof that the square deaF' pays and that courteous treatment wins in business.
 Like the growth of the mighty oak from the acorn, the present large busi- ness had tis inception in very modest way. From one floor of one store to six floors of two stores gives some idea of their growth.
 They have now reached their busi- ness majority; have served long ap- prenticeship and become past masters in their chosen business, which fits them to more intelligently eater to and serve the great purchasing public, and they intend to make the coming twen- ty-one days sale day for every year in business, red-letter days in their business history,
 With a view of properly celebrating the twenty-first anniversary, and as a fitting way of showing their appreeia- | ton of the generous patronage of the general public, they are inaugurating a twenty sale that will eclipse all their previous efforts-and they are many and menorable-in this direction. Months of thought, labor and skill have been spent in preparations for this great sale, Marts and mills have been visited by their buyers in search of seasonable and fashionable goods which will create a sensation because of the low prices they will be marked when put on sale-prices that will rejoice the heart and open the purse of every wise and thrifty buyer of New Haven.

 A moments reflection will cause one to ask, What are the underlying prin- ciples that cause retail establishment to grow so much in excess to the pro- portion of the population when compe- tition is so severe? Those who can look back twenty-one years will see two enterprising young men with ideas of their own, in spite of the open pre- dictions of every other merchant that the field was not large enough for an- other department store. But nothing could daunt their determination, be- cause they believed that store that could offer desirable merchandise at the lowest possible prices could com pete successfully for a good share of the popular trade of New Haven and vicinity; that by conducting a strictly cash business and thereby eliminating the bookkeeping and Its accompanying expense it would be able to give the
