A Little Talk
By Man to Men


Just little over year ago when
we bought this store we decided to
make some very radical changes.
We decided to change the appear
ance of the place throughout, to
change many of the lines of merchan-
disc and to change many Of the poll
cies of the store.
We had been in retail business
for sixteen years, serving the people
in communities very similar to this
all the time, and felt that the people
here as elsewhere, desired beautiful
store, store where they could feel
at home, where high class merchan-
disc was featured, and where every
desire was given consideration.
When we outlined our policies to
some of those we deemed best quail
fed to judge, we were told to abandon
the idea. We could not believe they
were right and decided to go ahead
according to our ideas.
We put in a new front and fix
lures; we featured new and better
lines of merchandise, and adopted the
policy of being Of service to our
friends.
The past year has shown the wis
dom Of these ideas, the patrons of
this New Way Store" have grown
rapidly, our territory has broadened,
and during the month of October the
volume of goods sold by us was over
forty per cent more than we sold a
year ago. At this writing our sales
for this month are far in excess of
last November and bid fair to sur
pass the gains of last month.
We attribute this unusual growth
to our policy of delivering to you high
quality merchandise, at fair and rea-
sonable prices, and of giving fair and
just consideration to the wishes of
every person who enters this store.
If you are not now a regular pa
tron of this store we invite you to
join the many regular visitors; get
acquainted with us; our policies and
our merchandise, and you'll be better
satisfied.
We do not feature the cheapest
grades of merchandise but we do fea-
ture the best grades at the cheapest
prices, and. we stand back Of every
item we sell you
