Is It the merchant who has the brightest store, the most attractive things to sell you, a polite and intelligent sales force to serve you and an all 'round genial, home like, welcome atmosphere awaiting you in his shop and then tells you about it in his advertising? Ia It from that kind of merchant that you receive poor service? It is not probable. The chances are ten to one that the poorest service and the least satisfaction come from the shops where business is done under antiquated conditions; where the merchandise is badly chosen and badly displayed; where salespeople are not well-informed and courteous and obliging; and where the merchant either has nothing much of Interest to advertise or else "doesn't believe in advertising."
