Good MerchandiSe---Hs
Relation to This Store

Emerson says the true test of govern
ment is the kind of men it produces.
We say the true test Of store is the
kind of merchandise it affords.
There is no royal road to perfect store
keeping; neither luck nor accident can
bring it to pass.
Let it only be proven to the people
that your goods are right and the savings
real, and the rest will take care of itself.
Money talks; so does merit in mer-
chandise.
The merchandise we have sold in the
past has been talking for us; the money
that people have saved on special values
we have afforded them has been talking
for us. We do not hope to talk more con-
vincingly.
1t is hardly possible that any other
store could have learned, better than we.
how good merchandise, fairly priced, can
make business grow.
We are frank to say we have learned
this to our profit.
For it is the merchandise which we
have sold in the past that changed the lit
tie three-story building into one of the
greatest stores in the South. 1t must have
been pretty good, to say the least of it.
And in the future we are, going to do
all we can to impress you with the mer-
chandise merits and the business ideals
that have made the new store possible

Lift IS COMMON
CARRIER, SAYS
HIGH COURT
Appeals Tribunal Rules Owners
Are Responsible for Passengers
Safety, Same as Railroad.

The Georgia Court Of Appeals, in
its decision in the case Of T. y.
Helmly against the Savannah Office
Building Company. holds that eleva-
tors in public buildings are common
carriers and that as such owners are
responsible for the safety OF passen-
gers.
The court held that the increased
rental obtained by the owner Of
building equipped with elevators is
equivalent to passenger fare charged
by any common carrier.
While attempting to enter an ele-
vator owned by the Savannah Office
Building Company Helmly was in
1ured. He brought suit in the City
Court OF Savannah and obtained a
verdict OF $500 damages. At the
time OF the accident Helmly was an
employee Of a tenant in the building.
The defendants maintained the liza
bility was that OF the landlord, which
would have subjected the company to
only ordinary care The court held
otherwise, but a new trial was grant
ed on the grounds that the verdict
was excessive.
Judge B. II. Hill. voicing the opin-
ion Of the Court OF Appeals, ruled that
the trial Judge was right in main
tanning that the owner was liable for
extraordinary diligence as a common
carrier, and was also within his dis
erection in setting aside the verdict A
new trial. therefore, was granted.

Store Policy and
Service Simply Told

Voltaire spoke of those who "employ
speech only to conceal their thoughts"
There are enough plain, brief words in
common use to describe anything, provid-
ed the speaker understands his subject.
There was a wise and honest teacher
who was asked one day to explain a GER
tain problem; he replied: 81 haven't time
now. If I knew it thoroughly | could tell
you in a few minutes, but as l know it only
imperfectly it would take me an hour"
When one does not know, and wants to
make others think he knows, then is the
time to use words with which your lis
teners are unfamiliar.
For instance, when the physician does
not wish you to know what your trouble
is, he will speak of your exanthematous
malady and says he is giving you de-
tergent.
If he had said he was giving you some
thing to cleanse your system or to stimu-
late your heart you would have under
stood, which would have been bad for you.
But there is nothing you should not, or
may not, know about our methods of store
keeping, and we will eliminate all com
mercial technique and tell you in plain,
simple words something about the store,
its policy, its service, its equipment; a
subject which we believe we know thor
oughly.

The Foundation of
Business Is Confidence

We do not lock our confidence in the
safe. We deposit it in turn with the
wholesaler, who passes it on to the manu-
facturer. And the manufacturer, to make
the circle complete, must give confidence
to the consumer.
Business, once an aggregation of deals,
with us has become the living embOdi-
ment of ideals.
1t is absolutely necessary for us to en-
Joy the confidence of our customers.
We know this, and we are doing every
thing that is humanity possible to gain
your confidence.
We sell no goods that are not absolute
ly dependable.
We stand back of everything we sell,
and our interest in the matter does not
end until the sale is perfectly satisfactory
to you.
This is fixed policy Of our business.
First, because it is right; and secondly,
because it pays-for you and for us.
In other words, the principle of utmost
value giving against the old method of
getting all one could in the way of profits.
