THE ARMIES OF FALL MERCHANDISE
£3K3L TJ* 21
17TRIHE Success of a store consists mainly
in securing and deserving the confi-
dence of the public. Public con-
fidence is the most valuable asset of the
modern store; to deserve public confidence
is the most important principle of modern
merchandising. People like to trade at
Ballinger’s Greatest Store because they
have full confidence not only in the
truthfulness of our advertisement and the
honesty of our dealings, but also in our
facilities for presenting at all times the
most desirable merchand i s e and
the most satisfacto ry service.
