LIBERAL BUSINESS POLICY
A man visiting in large city took his
family one night to music hall. He was
informed that general admission to the
balconies, where no seats were reserved,
was fifty cents. To get reserved seats,
he would have to buy floor seats at one
dollar. He asked If there would prob
ably be room enough for him If he did
buy fifty cent seats.
"Can't say" gruffly replied the ticket
seller. "You take your chances" So ra-
Their than run the risk Of having to stand
up the man bought one dollar seats. Aft
err he felt sore to note that the balconies
were not half full, and fifty cent seats
would have been perfectly good. The tick
ct seller knew the situation. But he
felt it was better to grab the additional
fifty cents seat rattle rthan help the
purchaser get in on the most favorable
terms.
That principle runs all through bust
ness. Some men will grab the immedi-
ate dollar, without regard to the interest
of the purchaser. Others look at the sale
from the purchasers point Of view. They
will sacrifice their own immediate inter-
est, to see that the purchaser makes Z
deal that win please him and be most eco
nomical for him. That is the way to
make business friends that stick.
This principle applies to our home
trade situation. When you buy goods in
our stores, you buy Of sellers who do not
depend on transient trade, here today
and gone tomorrow. They depend upon
making permanent friends, consequently
they viii help you make the purchase
most economical and best for you.
Also another characteristic Of liberal
business policy Is willingness to advertise
and tell the public about goods. When
store gives out advance Information in
the public press about its goods, it helps
the. public make intelligent plarchases.
