"Peculiarities" A Portland (Or.) man tells a good story in a leading Eastern publication that forms a good application for a store "editorial.' It runs thusly: "A gentleman who was in the habit of stuttering was asked why he Everybody h-h-h-has his p-p-p-peculiarities,' replied did so. 'Th-th-th-that's my p-p-peculiarity. the gentleman. " 'I have no peculiarities,1 said the inquirer. " 'D-d-d-don't you s-s-s-stir your t-t-tea with your right hand?' 'Yes. " 'Well, t-t-that's your p-p-p-p-p-peculiarity. Most p-p-p-p-people u-u-use a spoon.' " Yes we all have our peculiarities stores have theirs. It's a peculiarity of ours that we want to give our patrons best service. Most intelligent service. We aim to employ the most skilled helpers, the most pleasing salespeople. We aim to instruct them in the. art of being pleasing to you; of 'building a character and good health for themselves; of never misrepresenting, even tho' they lose a sale by telling the TEUTH. We aim t0 make them cheerful, that theymay spread a cheerful atmosphere about them. In short, we aim to help every person in our employ to better himself or herself physically, financially and morally. We endeavor to show them their own pos sibilities, to help them to HELP THEMSELVES; to elevate the" profession they are engaged in. Wouldn't you prefer to be waited on by INTELLIGENCE rather than by STUPIDITY? Wouldn't you rather look up to the clerk who serves you and admire his or her CHARACTER that refused to deceive you, tho' a one-time Bale might depend on his doing so rather than feel a distrust and abhorrence of the person whom you know to be wholly without PRINCIPLE, who comes forward to wait on you when you enter a store? The former means BUSINESS BUILDING, the latter pre historic storekeeping. The former is "Scientific Salesmanship," made up of TRUTHFULNESS and APPLIED KNOWLEDGE. Which do YOU prefer reader? To associate with Intelligence or Ignorance when shopping? We prefer to surround you with the former. Some stores don't care or prefer the latter. That's their "PECULIARITY." Wonderfully Pretty Autumn Millinery "BIJon Salon Abbci Second Floor.
