Show THE TO WH DOCTOR (THE DOCTOR OF TOWNS) : says ; ! - - . . There is a cigar store I knov where they will give you back the amount of your purchase if the clerk fails to say " Thank You ". There was a string of Drug Stores in Chicago that apeared to make it a habit of not. saying " Thank You"- they were forced to sell out at a loss. j . There is nothing that grates ' on my nerves quite as much as to pay. a check.a bill or present legal le-gal tender in payment of purchase and have the recipient of my mon-ey mon-ey fail to express any appreciation apprecia-tion for the patronage extended. And there are millions of others just like me. One of the most successful mercantile mer-cantile concerns in ?ha country has built its business oa the motto " It is only natural to trade at the place where you are served best. "Some cash register company ( might do good if they put a thank you on there cash registers as are cuckoos on clocks. i Why shouldnt the customer be 'hanked f If one man gave another anoth-er a dollar and the receiver didn't reven grunt to show appreciation ',youd call him an ungrateful cuss and a poor specimen of humanity iyet, many a sale at a profit equi- ; valent to much more, is accepted with the air of " Well its coming !to irte". That is mighty poor business, bus-iness, or else inexcusable ignor- ' anee. - The cheery "Thank Yon, Call- ' Again, or some other card on the inside of the door, or over the cash register, shows the, right spirit and helps, but it isnt enough. The American public are fickle buyers, buy-ers, and for that reason," business goes where it is invited, and stays and comes back to place where it , is well trea'ed and served best". There is many a busines house, many a community, failing to make an impression of appreciation appreciat-ion for patronage extendeu.that is thereby driving customers to its competitors, for it isnt always what is done, but what is lefti undone un-done that counts. " Thank You's", never drove business from any store or community, comm-unity, but lack of them has cost thousands of dollars. |
