Personality In Business.

Personality in business is an i'm
portant thing. There are the John
Wanamaker stores, Marshall Field,
the Tiffanys-and you can go down
the line from the time of A. T. Stew
art and Taylor and you will find that
there is a great deal in a name in
the mercantile line. In every town
the successful stores can be picked
out at a glance. In some towns there
seems to be an inclination to avoid
the use of signs, and there are stores
with nothing to indicate the stocks of
goods carried or the names of the
owners. Generally the interiors of
these stores are in harmony with the
outside-an indication of lax business
methods and a kind of catch-as-catch.
al affair, as far as gathering in trade
is concerned. Such methods have
never been known to pay well. In
fact, it is the hustler who wins out
and the merchant who hides his
%proverbial light under the bushel will
soone or later get out of business
with the balance on the wrong side
of the ledger.
