Service

HERE IS THE RITE WAY:

We have cut out all the frills of storekeeping and much of the overhead expense, so that we may

sell women's wearing apparel at prices within reason. This department occupies the entire third floor of our building. It is light, cheery and inviting, but the main attractions are the wonderful assortments of new fall suits, dresses and coats, and the alluringly low prices that are marked in plain figures on the tags. The entrance to this department is through the Rite Jewelry Store (43 S. Illinois St.). An elevator will take you up. If you have never visited this women’s store of ours you may wonder why

^ there is no display window downstairs. Simply another plan of ours to reduce expense so that we may sell you your clothes for less. Come up and try the Rite way of

buying your fall outfit.

We Sell For Cash or Extend Credit on Terms That Are Fair —Fair to those who pay spot cash. —Fair to those who charge their purchase. Any store that opens charge accounts must place a greater price on its merchandise. Any statement to the contrary is ridiculous and an insult to your intelligence. By our plan those who pay spot cash are not compelled to bear the necessary expense incident to the extension of credit. Those who desire to open a charge account will be cheerfully accommodated, but a slight additional charge must be added to the plain-figure cash price. The result of this plan will be that we can give the spot-cash customer better values than any store that sticks to the old method of overcharging the cash customer in order to take care of the added expense of the credit department. The very small additional amount which the charge customer pays is more than offset by the fact that he has the use of the merchandise while

paying for it.
