Talk.
There protably isnTa reader of this'newspaper who will not want to
buy some bonse famishing article or other between now and the holidays.
So, 'tis quite proper for a store that feels quite sure it is better able to
serve yon than any other to have a word with you at about this time.
As things go in Walla Walla (and they certainly go to suit ns) the
DAVIS-KASER- store has made probably the greatest success of all stores
here. At least, we have tried hard and earnestly to do everything in the
world tha would ordinarily biing snocess to a store.
The rapid almost pbenomioal increase in our tnsiness wond indi
cate that we are at least pleasing a great majority of the buying public;
and, for this we feel highly gratified and thankfnl. Oar customers always
come the second, and the third time, and this of course, is the basis of our
success.
We want to, therefore, talk to those who have not tried trading here
as yet. We want to say to you, TRY. If we do not make your trading
both pleasant and profitable we incur a great business risk. At least,
that is the way we figure it, for to have a disappointed customer is about
the worst thing that can happen to a store. Yon can rest assured, there
fore, that yon will like your trading here when yon try. All DAVIS
KASER patrons are more than satisfied they are pleased.
There will from now till the holidays be a whole lot of valuable, sen
sible store news from here. It will be news that thrifty and thinking
housewives will appreciate and profit by. We will make it as interesting
as possible." We'll be right glad and so will yon if yon accept this in
vitation to become a DAVIS-KASER Customer.
