BET We Still Favor the Friendly Ways of Old-Time Stores ♦ ♦,and We Believe Washingtonians Who are Different Want Our Kind of Store i MANY Washingtonians originally came here from small towns. There you knew every body in town, and everybody knew you. The old-time storekeeper was always there to greet you as you came in his store. He called you by name and made you feel at home.. Whether you ran in to get out of the rain or came to make a purchase, you were always made to feel welcome. THIS is the kind of store our management believes in, but as there are a number of entrances it is impossible to greet each and every person. However, we have endeavored to instill in the hearts, minds and actions of each of the representatives of The Palais Royal . . . whether salesperson, floor-walker or the man who delivers your packages to your door ... this spirit of friendly interest in your welfare . . . the idea of treating you as each of us likes to be treated. No doubt you have noticed this is in our store... and we are told that is what makes us different.
