FACTS

Margaret Slattery, the famous Boston lecturer,
once remarked that the most incontrovertible
thing IN the world is FACT,
1t is the daily duty of the writer of this article
to observe the FACTS-an the FACTS about
everything and everybody connected with The
Palais Royal
The object OF our present observation Is the
wonderful Annual May Sale which Is now at
tracing the appreciative and responsive atten-
tion Of the buying public of Washington.
Here are some Of the FACTS that stand out
IN this May Sale like the skyline of great city:
First of all, there Is the compelling FACT Of
honest and attractive merchandise Every buyer
in the store-and there are thirty of them-has
seemingly outdone himself in securing only such
merchandise from the markets of the world as
would readily inspire the confidence and attract
the interest of the most careful and fastidious
shopper in Washington. On every hand one hears
such comments as these: II have never seen such
excellent values" or "The quality could hardly be
surpassed for the price," and "This store is GER
tainly offering unusual bargains" These quota
tons and others equally satisfactory to the man
agement, were actually heard by the writer on the
first day of the sale.
Then there is the FACT of great crowds Of
enthusiastic shoppers It was conservatively esti-
mated on the first day Of the sale that approx
mately fifty thousands people entered The Palais
Royal. Think for moment what this means. It
is almost onetenth of the entire population Of the
city of Washington! By the end of the week the
number Of shoppers will equal nearly four-flfths
of the population Of the city, or about one-han of
the population of Baltimore What city In
miniature great Department Store isl
Another interesting FACT Is the relation Of this
sale to other sales that The Palais Royal has Of
fered the public This is not only the greatest
MAY SALE in the history of the store but 1t is
the GREATEST SALE that The Palais Royal
has ever put on In every particular crowds,
goods sales, effective organization In caring for
the thousands of customers-the present sale sur
passes all OCnerS Is IL any WONDER CnaC everybody
connected with The Palais Royal Is extremely
happy
It is FACT that under the able leadership Of
the management The Palais Royal will not only
continue to serve Washington with courtesy in
craftsmanship, quality in merchandise and honesty
in prices as it has done for nearly half century,
but it will step forward in everything that makes
for great and growing store.
