ONE SOLID FLOOR OF EXTRA, VALUES
LADIES' WEAR SALE Thursday, Friday, Saturday '
Several days before I reached Elizabeth City, Mr. Gilbert wrote me that he was North buying "merchan
dise for the late season. I received his letter all right, but I was on my honeymoon then and didn't have my
mind on buying or selling goods, and even if I hadn't been I wouldn't have worried any, not knowing what a
heavy buyer he was.
Anyway when I reached this place and reported for duty the stock of goods that he had and the stock that'
he had coming put me to wondering if I was going to hold my job.
Why, that man bought an enormous supply of merchandise He bought over ten thousand dollars worth
of ladies wear alone. Now, folks, if you don't know it, ten thousand dollars worth of goods for one depart
ment of one store is SOME goods, especially when that department is already fairly well stocked.
"Mr. Gilbert," I began, "didn't you buy entirely too heavy." -
"Buying is my job, Tuttle. Selling is yours," he answered. "The difficulty that a buyer meets now in se
curing the class of merchandise that MITCHELL S sell; merchandise that is above the average; that will -
frfease our most discriminating customers, makes his work a REAL job, too. It's easy to pick up the ordinary
ine at high prices, but to get fashionable goods, backed by quality and at prices that will enable us to giye our
patrons BETTER values than others, makes it WORK," continued Mr. Gilbert.
"So my job is selling, then watch me," was my come back. "I am going to sell these goods, like you
bought them, at unusually low prices. I am going to clean out your ten thousand dollars worth of new ladies
wear first. Those goods are the best that any market affords, you've spent hard effort to secure these high
class goods at the price you did. Our customers will appreciate it if we pass those remarkable values on to
them. A three days sale, Thursday, Friday and Saturday, will do it. Watch my prices and my crowd. I am
going to give Elizabeth City something NEW in the way of a REAL sale. The folks will appreciate it. too."
