He says he knows you’ll come into our store and buy at our Under Price Cash Sale if we give you a bargain opportunity of an entirely new sort— one you have always wanted and never had before. Here’s What He Told Us To Do: “Mark your stock. very carefully , —instead of the usual straight cut on the whole* of a line of shirts or clothes, mark each lot separately." "Folks are not like sheep, and what’s a bargain for one is not to another. A $4.00 shirt at $3.00 is a splendid value to the fellow who likes that one pattern best—but to another it’s dear at any price.” “Here’s a lot of suits that have not sold very well. But they are made of the finest material, they are in good style and somebody will find in them just what he wanted. Mark them right down below cost if necessary., The customer has a right to a good discount on lots that haven’t been among the most popular." “Now here’s a lot of odds and ends—short sizes, and so forth—you don’t want them on hand when Spring goods come, so clean ’em out by making the price attractive," “Those seasonable lines over there are still in demand but you can afford to reduce the price because two months have gone and the purchaser gets that much less use of his purchase. He’s entitled to a price that represents the real worth of the goods. “Now arrange your stock so people can find what they want, easily. Mark old and new prices plainly. Put some of the best values in your windows. Haye lots of cards to help folks locate what they want and tell every clerk to be up on his toes every minute." “One thing more—tell everybody exactly what you are doing in the simplest and sincerest language. They'll come in and buy, because folks always respond to square-as-a-die treatment. We took the Ad Man at his word and did what he told us Come in and tell us if we did right. G.E.
