A Reproduction of Instructions
to Our Employees

T will give you a hint of the way we
do business here and prove that right
service and value-giving are practiced
on the inside, as well as preached on the
outside, of this store.
/. Don't ask for and accept a customer idea
of his own size. Have your tape measure handy
and measure him correctly to the smallest fraction
of an inch.
?. Don't demand an instant expression from
the prospective buyer as to what shade and style
he wants. Give him an opportunity to form his
own opinion when he sees the different models.
3. Don't sell a man the garment that's nearest
to his size. FIT HIM. That's what our alter
alton department is for.
4. Don't be in a hurry with a customer. Many
men object to being rushed and if the man is in
haste to arrive at a decision he'll show it himself.
s. Don't speak slightingly of the suit or coat
a customer has on, or Criticise its make, color or
fit. No man likes to have his taste and judgment
belittled even by inference.
6. Don't take the upper hand all through
the transaction. If the customer has ideas it's
your business to meet them as nearly as you can.
You're there to serve him, not to dictate.
z. Don't withhold a suggestion if you have one
to offer which will benefit the customer. But the
important thing is to offer it as a suggestion and
not as the ediCt of an oracle.
s. Don't fail to tell the truth about what a gar
ment is made of-give correct details of fabrics
and Innings. There are nc goods in this store that
won't stand for the truth being told about them.
9. Don't hesitate to show the entire line. If
the purchaser is willing to devote enough of his
time to see the line, it's certainly up to you to put
your time against his
10. Don't fail to show the customer the new
and attractive seasonable good things in suits and
overccats for fall and winter from

BIBLICAL REFERENCES TO COAL.

STRIFE This was written about 1916
Is. c., at the time King Solomon came
into power. Part of his domain was
worked in that country today. There
are several other references to coal
In the Bible, all of later date. Tools
and clnders have been found near the
Roman wall, indicating that the Brit
ons were familiar with the use of coal
prior to the Roman invasion In 81 b. c.
The first actual record of coal
transaction is the receipt OF ~ cart
loads Of coal written by the good alb

as they did centuries ago Marco
Polo speaks of seeing, in 1875, "a kind

the travellers tale.
The earliest historical mention of
coal In the United States is by the
