Editorial

A man asked us this ques--
ton recently: why do you
take out insurance papers
for employees: establish
bonus systems. etc. when we
are just entering the recon-
Struction period with it's un-
certaintieS?'
Our answer to him then
and now is: There is no un-
certainty about our business.
We are not dependent upon
the excitement of continuous
sales for our growth. Our
store is built upon the un-
shakable foundation of serv-
ice"
We may. of course. suffer
slight depresSionS with the
general ups and downs of
our daily lives. That is to
be expected.
But our ups and downs
will be far less than those of
other stores. People natu-
rally turn to the more sub
stantial and enduring things
in time of stress or uncer-
tainty-
We face the future KNOW
ING that we will continue to
GO FORWARD.
