"When the new store opened I was impressed, of course. Never before had I seen such fascinating show win dows. But the wonder of it is that they should continue to be just as beautiful and as interesting as they were at the very first 1" True, we have set a pace which we intend to keep. The reason that our displays are still as in teresting as they were during our opening week is that we have an abundance of material to choose from. The showing on our coun ters and in our salesrooms is quite as interesting as that in the win dows. We have nothing in stock that is not new, tasteful and worth wide nothing that would not be interesting or that we should hesi tate to exhibit as representative of our goods. In fact, there is so much that fairly clamors for a chance to be shown that we have real difficulty in deciding what to put in our displays. And then, there is the never ending stream of new things pour ing into each department all the time. The trouble lies not in find ing enough to display, but in find ing space and time to display enough. Having established ave nues for the constant incoming of every new thing which the market affords, we are always supplied with the latest and best. Our New York and European offices send us new merchandise every day. We have nothing in 'our stock which is not fresh, up-to-date and attractive. "The thing that I wish to com mend," said a man whose opinion, we value highly, "is the integrity of your store. Some days ago my wife and I stopped to admire a large display window full of laces. ; 'The best of the stock is here in the show-window,' I remarked, knowing the 'tricks of trade." She smiled a superior kind of smile and induced me to step inside. At the lace counter we were shown any amount of the superior product and in no way was it below the standard set by the show-window. " 'I knew you were wrong, said my wife, complacently. 'I never knew it to fail that you can find bigger bargains inside than those displayed.' " With a completely new stock culled from the world's best mar kets, milady's dictum could hardly fail to be true. We have nothing old no "left-overs" or goods that are passe.' The task of furnishing this immense store with a new stock was a great one. But then, it was a pleasant one, too. Each buyer carried out his ideals he ransacked the Eastern market for the freshest, the newest and the best. It was like furnishing a new house. In fact, it was furnishing our New Home.
