ed from mouth to mouth among the buying element
of Fairmont.
This is especially true OF our Third Floor readytowear section. It
isno wonder you hear a groan Of defeat from q competitor from time
to time. - @# #
NOT long ago a woman Of considerable shopping reputation and q
resident OF this city came up TO our Third Floor to inspect some suits.
She had Just visited the suit section Of a competitor whose neWspa-
per ads boast OF first quality coat and sults--hEusest and best selection
-t. held certain charms until she had seen the goods and prices.
So here she came and quietly listened to explanations while oneo of
our saleswomen showed her suit after suit. But all at once her eye
caught the label on the inside OF one she started and exclaimed
That is the very. same. labet-the very same color and
It's an exact duplicate of The suit ~ was Just ookIng at
90 and sGs and they wanted seven douars more.
@ Needless to say this woman Is now q very good customer OF ours

and three days later called to deliver the policy.
Mr.. Watson gave him a check, then invited
him TO witness a rehearsal in which he was
