Just A Talk.
There probably isn't'a reader of tbis newspaper who will not want to
buy some house furnishing 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 you than any other to have a word with you at about this time.
. As things go in Walla. Walla (and tbey certainly go to suit us) tbe
DAVIS-KASER store has made probably tbe greatest suoness of all stores
bere. At least, we have tried hard and earnestly to do everything in the
world tba would ordinarily biing suooess to a store.
Tbe rapid almost phenominal increase in onr tusinees woud indi
cate that we are at least pleasing a great majority of the buying publio ;
and, for this we feel highly gratified and thankful. Onr customers always
corns tbe second, and the third time, and this of course, is the basis of our
success. -
We want to, therefore, talk to thtfce who have not tried trading bere
as yet We want to say to you, TRY,t If we do npt 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 oan happen to a store. You can rest assured, there
fore, that you will like your, trading bere when you try. All DAVIS
KASER patrons are more than satisfied tbey are pleased.
i 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 you if you accept this in
vitation to become a DAVIS-KASER Customer.
