The Harrison Store Crawl
ates to a Logical Position

The Harrison store has
graviated to its logical posi-
tion-the great middle po-
sition" store of the greater
Fairmont-the busiest and
fastest growing retail insti-
tuition in this section. The
store is not a low price store
in the sense of "cheap mer-
chandising," and it has none
of the pretensions of the So
called ultra-exclusive store.
It's is the great popular
store with a whole hearted
appeal to the thrifty, comon-
sense portion of the commu-
nifty who want the best mer-
chandise of the world mar
kets, at prices based on i'm
mense buying economies,
merchandise without store
atmosphere" or glistening,
scintilating brass fixtures
which adds nothing to the
value of the goods.
This birthday will empha-
size these facts. That there
is sentiment in business; that
the Harrison organization
really and truly appreciate
your patronage and that any
store can grow and thrive if
it treats the people right at
any and all times and is sat
isfed with small profits in
stead of the get rich Wal
lingford idea of selling mer-
chandise at out-of-reason
prices.

HARRISON"S IS THE
YOUNG RETAIL GIANT!

Since its birth no like establishment
in Marion county has had as rapid
growth or gained equal prominence in
such a short period OF seven years.
Harrison has held his own against old
and new leaders. He has steadfastly
held the confidence OF Marion County's
purse. This great store has maintain
ed progress against the sternest eco
nomic changes retailing ever contend.
ed with. 1t stands alone in the heart of
yesterdays foremost shopping center
because this store WAS its heart
the vital force that kept it crowded
and now holds the crowds It brought
side by side with hundreds of new.
comers.
Harrison broke hundred precedents
and traditions when he opened his
doors to the buying public seven
years ago. He introduced broader,
tairer relations between the buyer and
seller; he gave Fairmont mercantile
innovations that are today standard
throughout this section of West vir-
einia. The Harrison store has endur.
cd to successful maturity in faith un.
der adverse conditions that mean.
while drove dozen important estab.
lishments out of existence or to new
sites. Because Harrison's made custo.
mers and friends when they made SAL
es-because it has all along given so
much bigger value to the dollar and
wrapped so many extra forms of SER
vice into every bundle that no comhln-
alton of circumstances can wean its
loyal patrons from every confidence
and faith. No wonder this store wants
to hold party-a real party-Friday
afternoon-to celebrate it's seventh an.
1iversary.
