Competition Is
the Life Of
Trade and We
Welcome 1t.

In ancient times men built
walls around cities to keep
their enemies out.
Nova lays progressive
cities level all real or imag-
mary walls so as to let their
customers in.
The city that is going for
ward is the city that well
comes competition.
A city without outside
competition will never be
very progressive or become
very big.
Nor will merchant who
is never stimulated by COM
petition ever become very
great.
We want our city to be a
Big Trade Center.
We want this store to null
tiply its clientele and gain a
steadily growing share of the
trade that comes to Daven-
port.
We shall expect to attract
this trade only by deserving
it. And what this store can
do all Davenport stores and
the city itself can do.
Let's bring trade to Dav-
export and the Tri-Cities by
inviting competition, meet
ing it, and winning in spite of
it, because we are offering
something better than the
other fellow can offer!
