Women and Children
With the beginning of the new year we have "taken stock of this store, of the place this store holds'in the' community,
of our unusual opportunity for service as a store organization, of the lovalty and patronage of an ever-increasing
number of friends and customers. , .
With this in mind we make a sincere pledge of greater and better service in the future to those who have made a
greater store, possible. .... ,
With the elimination of the men's department, a complete reorganization of the entire store has been made and wo
now present a store devoted exclusively to the service and needs of women and children and we will strive to ex
press that devotion with maximum service and honesty.
Your particular attention is called to four points of store policy that will characterize this entire organization
during the next year characteristics that we believe will be worthy of your most careful attention, that will merit
your continued patronage and draw new people to know and appreciate an outstanding store service.

its place or your money back if vou wish. Every article we sell
MUST MAKE GOOD OR WE WILL. This poiicy is based on
a firm belief in the quality and value of the goods we sell and

store now offers an unusual selection in every department at
.a moderate price level that assures your immediate and con

profit as a means of securing and holding increased customers
- ?' and building store volume. Should our merchandise quality
and value at any time fail to measure up to your expectations,
we'll count it a privilege to have you tell us so that we may re

pleasure to shop at Hill's. Now, with the entire store devoted
to women's and children's needs exclusively, you will find it
even more attractive. It is always a pleasure for us to show

while every effort will be made to carry in stock just what you
want, there will be no insistence that you buy, whether or not
we can show exactly what you have in mind. We want you to
enjoy coming to this store, we want you to take full advantage
of its comforts and conveniences. The entire organization is
devoted to giving you thorough and unstinted satisfaction.
