Frank Nevins, manager OF the South

to closer contact with the real men
and women Of America than any
other merchants in the country. and
that we know the character of these
men and women better. We know
that character is good, and We try
TO deserve it's confidence. That IS
why we have generally earned the
name OF The House of Character
and we are regarded in the minds
Of our customers as such a house.
II is. however, merely that we try
20 live up to the standard st for
US by our customers, who are typi-
cal Of the backbone Of the nation,
the men and women who have made
America great and prosperous.
This week, in celebration Of our
anniversary, we shall start in with
what / am sure will he a new and
longer era OF rejecting the spirit
OF the nation. Every Gately store
can safely promise its customers
that il will continue TO deserve their
confidence and that. in the future
as in the past. they can continue
to regard Gately's as The House Of
Character
