The store has 700 interpreters capable of speaking at least one foreign language who stand ready to accommodate you Of course the planning is not perfect Problems will arise and convenient situations will exist But you can be sure that every effort will be made to straighten them out before a single showcase is moved into position for next year’s Christmas shopping season to Mrs awaw Hunter Richard standards developed ing 'AIL of Color Shades Company Logan Heber City |
