Business Honesty
The time was not so long ago when men differentiated between hon
esty in private life and honesty in business.
But the wave of modern merchandising has swept out "Obvious
Trickery" has washed away false standards and made "Business Honesty"
a living force. Nowadays all good stores are honest all the way througE
honest in Merchandise, Price and Service.
Whatever success has been this store's portion has resulted from an
unwritten policy of "Business Honesty." We have tried to make it a
store where even a child could purchase with safety.
Of course we make mistakes sometimes we err in our judgement
of merchandise but we stand back of our goods and when things go
wrong we are always ready to make them right.
