The department Of a store, as
unit of administration, and with
it's able commander and corps of
loyal lieutenants and workers, may
well be likened to certain subdivis-
ions of an army; each take orders
directly OF otherwise from their
commanders in chief, and in action
both are trained to function indie
pendently, if need be, but always
in full cooperation with other
units striving for a given objective.
Realizing that single weak unit is
likely to cause a corresponding weak
ness Of the store as an institution of
service, it is the prerogative Of our SUI
preme commanders to see that, both in
organization, administration and eff
cheney, each department is kept as
nearly perfection as is possible to
reach. For just as an army wins vic
tory through the fighting strength and
morale of it's battaions, SO does the
store achieve greatness through the
service of it's individual shops and the
spirit of it's personnel.
Taken collectively, therefore, this
Store of Individual Shops" is public
institution. Patrons often refer to it
as such, because it is daily operated
TO fill public need.
1t was to be of the greatest service
and to supply the daily wants of vast
populace, that these diversified lines of
merchandise were collected under one
roof and management. The articles of
hardware store, piece goods that once
could be found only in an exclusive
dry goods store, range of wearing
apparel superior even to that we'll
organized speciality shop would show;
China, Silver, Millinery. Mems Wear
Jewelry, Shoes, Toilet Wares, Carpets
and other lines; in short, more than a
score Of stores and shops are organized
into one great institution for the pur-
pose of affording maximum convent
ence, simplicity and economy Of time
to the shopping public.

AS a public institution, this store
must give an adequate and satisfactory
public service.
Telegraph Service (branch Western
Union). This feature is of daily use to
scores Of people, yet is but an arm of
the stores public service.
On every floor, at convenient places,
are telephones for the public's use,
locally or long distance, also several
private booths.
The second floor has commoiious
Writing and Rest Rooms, we'll ap-
pointed and luxuriously furnished, for
the convenience Of the shopping pub
lie. Marble Wash Rooms are nearby.
The finest Tea Rooms in the South,
on the third floor, form an important
branch of the public service. Here the
fatigued shopper may retire for dainty
refreshments and quiet rest. Here the
hostess may entertain her friends at
luncheon. Here the business man NAV
enjoy his luncheon free from the din
OF the street, and amid the most pleas
ant, home-like surroundings The
cuisine is unsurpassed and the service
dainty and prompt. Also the Chin
ney Corner" Cafe and complete Soda
Fountain Service in the Basement
Information and Parcels Checking
Service for those wanting to know
more about the store or city, and to
enable patrons to move about unen-
numbered.
Courteous and efficient salespeople,
quick making OF change and delivery
OF "take-with" packages, the we'll
organized system of city and suburban
deliveries, together with the most COM
plete and well-selected stocks Of MGR
chandise throughout every department,
unite in making service which the
public has right to expect from this
