Modern Store Methods
Time was when the iiirivhant went to market and hmilit enough goods to last
one entire season. Not so today. The m idem merchant buys a little at a time
aud has new goods coming in' every lew days. In this way new goods are con
stantly arriving at the modern store. The patrons have a chance to see new
goods every time they visit the modelr. store. Goods are kept neat and clean
and sold on very small margins, so that they are never kept long in the store.
The modei'ii store, unlike t lie Tribune, never refers directly to a competitor, but
rather urges people to shop and compare for themselves, believing that all stores
liave some good things to offer.
