w»«r, "dtHh"-•"
"Abe" Pilkenton advised us before we landed here, that if we got a start and made expenses for the first four years we would be doing well. We're just rounding out our third year, and, while we haven't made enough to
afford automobiles, we're a bit to the good. Abe has evidenced his good judgment in many things, but he made a bad guess on our business for, according to all signs, we are surely started. Our gain this season, over the corresponding season last year, was 24.1 per cent—The gain same season last year was 5.8 per cent. Not so bad, is it? In the face of the cry of hard timespoor business—Greenfield going dead, etc.
It's to be admitted that there are temporarily some empty houses in our city, but if half the inhabitants of the full ones felt loyal to the town-were half as easily
home as abroad-if they would be willing to
pay anything near the prices here that they do in Indianapolis— business on Main street would be continually on the boom and Main street is the mainspring of the town.
A lady came into our store a few days ago with her twelve-vear-old boy—he needed a suit. The fiist thing we heard, before we had shown a garment was—"I don't expect you have anything I want.'' (Encouraging.) She said she always bought his clothing at S s, in Indianapolis, and never paid less than $10.00 a suit. Now, we sell our best for about S7.50 and any were as good as he ever wore—so we naturally started up about the top. We found some that suited, but when priced them at $6 to $7.50 she was amazed-thought she ought to buy him a good suit here for about $3 or S3.50. (Curtain.)
So what's the use? We'll agree to do
business on a ratio of 10 to 7.50--but hardly 10 to 3. But we have similar cases every day, and get almost used to it.
But we're doing a nice business, and if we live and keep our health we're going to do more. We don't know much about anybody else's stock—but barring one or two weak spots, that are daily being strengthened, (boys' clothing isn't one of them, we have the best little store for men's and boys' wear in the country.
are open for conviction, come and see if you
won't be convinced, we are. Yours very respectfully, anyhow,
