Too Lata to Classify 12:13 p in The Key To "GOOD BUSINESS" Edgar A. Guest If I POSSESSED a shop or slore, I'd drive the grouches off my floor! I'd never lei some gloomy guy Offend the folks who come lo buy; I'd never keep a boy or clerk With menial toothache at his work, Nor lei a man who draws my Pay Drive customers of mine away. I'd Ireat the man who takes my lima And spends a nickel or a dime With courtesy, and make him feel Thai I was pleased to close the deal, Because tomorrow, who can tell? He may wanl stuff I have lo sell, And in that case, then glad he'll be To spend his dollars all with mo. The reason people pass one door To patronize another slore, Is not because the busier place Has belter silks, or gloves, or lace Or special prices, but it lies In pleasant words and smiling eyes; The only difference, I believe, Is in Ihe treaimnl folks receive! We believe In Edgar Guest's grand philosophy of "GOOD BUSINESS" and use it as a guide to our relations and business dealings with the people oi this community. Rogue Rive? Chevrolet 0. V.
