HOLLIFIELD, DALTON BROS., INC. ! STORE NEWS (By J. W.) i | Here is another store secret. Peo | pie who work in stores are insulted ; almost daily. If we were to go out 'and say to the public what they say ito us in the store we would have a 'fight on our hands before we went a block. The public expects a clerk or salesman to be congenial, happy, and smiling all the time, while they • in turn, show the very worst kind of j spirit by insinuations, and lots of times in plain English. The public has been taught that they have that right, but you ought to see how it looks across the counter. I had a lady to ready my titles clear because I would not give her back one dollar more for goods returned than she paid for them. I never dreamed she would come in this store again, but behold, the other day she was back in as good humor as ever. We do not accept the policy that "the cus tomer is always right," because we i have found them wrong too many {times. However, if there is any doubt j about the transaction the benefit of | the doubt goes to the customer al ways. Perhaps, the best loved cus tomer is the one who makes you show a lot of things on a busy day, and 'says, "I was only looking around to day; will be back when I get ready to buy." | Nearly always, if a person ad mires your goods and says a lot of nice things about them they are not going to buy. Now I have written all this with COATS AND ENSEMBLES Arrayed here for your immediate selection are some of the finest Coats and Dresses the Summer fash -9 ion designers could conceive. There are models for either sports, street or dress wear. Dresses and Sports Coats with smart throw scarf collars. Other models with capes or plainly fur-trim med. Silks, Kashas, Tweeds and beauteous Moires. t New Spring Colors: $15.00 f / / / / / / // / X I \ Petty 's Shoppe Just Around the Corner Forest City, N.
