Courtesy,

Courtesy is that first move
toward friendly acquaintance,
toward a mutual understand
ing.
We believe courtesy is the
first pillar in the structure of
service-for to the courteous
all knowledge is freely given,
all mistakes gladly excused, all
desire to improve gratified.
If this store is known for
it's scientific handling of vast
quantities of merchandise, for
its seemingly intuitive under
standing of coming CONNER
cial and manufacturing events,
for the accuracy of its fashion
predictions, for the remarkab-
ly few serious errors in its de-
liveries, for the unusual intel
ligence of its little army of
employes-yes, for all these
and the many other advan-
tages and splendid service it
offers-credit this to courtesy,
the first word upon our bust
ness standard.
For through courtesy to the
trade our organization secures
its whole-hearted goodwill and
cooperation - through cour-

cure their loyalty and unity of
action which directs the entire

through the courtesy of our
