Show LIBERAL BUSINESS POLICY r ; t, A man visiting in a large city took his family (one night to a music hall. He was informed that general admission to the balconies, where no seats were reserved, was fifty cents. To get reserved seats, he would have to buy floor seats at one dollar. He asked if there would prob-' ably, be room enough for him if he did buy fifty cent seats. ' "Can't say," gruffly replied the ticket seller. "You take your chances." So rather ra-ther than run the risk of having to stand up the man bought one dollar seats. After Aft-er he felt sore to note that the balconies were not half full, and fifty -cent seats would have been perfectly good. The Jacket Jack-et seller knew the situation. But he felt it was better to grab the additional fifty cents a seat rathe rthan help the purchaser get in on the most favorable terms. That principle runs all through business. busi-ness. Some men will grab the immedi- ate dollar, without regard to the interest of the purchaser. ' Others look at the sale from the purchaser's point of view. .They '.Will sacrifice their own immediate interest inter-est to see that the purchaser makes a . dealtthat will pleasehim and be most eoo-' nomical t or him. That is the way to make business friends that stick. This principle applies to our home trade situation. When you buy goods in w our stores, you buy of sellers who do not depend on transient trade, here today and gone tomorrow. They depend upon making permanent friends, consequently they will help you make the purchase most economical and best for you. ; ,' Also another characteristic of liberal business policy is Willingness to advertise and tell the public about goods.
