We've worked hard all through the year to bring this state of things about. ' That store doesn't exist nor the man that can please every one, sure enough, but when everybody tries to be pleased, as our patrons seem to try, and recognizes the sincerity "of the effort made by the store to please, it would be queer indeed if we didn't do better than common.
