Show JUST FOLKS I By Edgwr A. Gvemt GOOD BUSINESS I If I possesse.1 a shop or store. I I'd drive the grouches off my floor; I'd never 1. t some gloom) gu ofiend the tolks who came to buy; I'd never keep .1 boy or clerk With mental toothache nt his work. Nor let man irho draws my poy Drive custoincrsbf mine aWny. I'd treat ihe man who takes 1111 time And spends a nickel or a dlmr With courtesy nnd make him feci Thnt t pi. , .1 to close the deal, Because tomorrow, who can tell? He may want stuff 1 hnc to sell. ,nd In that cas- then gad he'll be 1 To spend his dollars all with me. The reaon peotlla pass one door To patronize another store. Is not because the busier plgCS I Has better silks or gloves or 1st . 1 Or cheaper price.-, but It lies In pleasanl words and smiling eyes: The onl dlflerence. I believe. Is In khs treatment folks receive. It Is good business to be fair, .To keep a bright and cheerful air About Ihe place, and not to show Your customers how much 1 on know; Whatever an patron did , I'd tr to keep my temper hid. And never let him spread alone j The word that I had done him wrong. |
