SHOP of the period must be likened to the bridge which crosses the treacher
f/fi. ous stream. For the sake of a simile we can think of nothing better to illus
trate the meaning of confidence than the story of the elephant who tested
each plank in the bridge before he trusted his weight to it. The public, we will sup
pose, is the elephant and the bridge is the retail clothing store. The public approaches
it with confidence. If there is a rotten plank in it the public withdraws. The bridge
tender is the dealer. It is he that myst see that the bridge is always in good sound
condition. Then the public will use it and use it with confidence. Confidence is the
keynote to modern success. The dealer must supply materials from which the public
can secure that state of dependency that makes trust. This cannot be accomplished
unless there is absolute fair dealing. To take up any line of goods and represent them
falsely is to put a rotten plank in the bridge. One cannot be dishonest by direct or in
direct means. When goods are selected for a stock witk the idea of making them fill
the place of something of better quality the promoter of that experiment is fooling 2
with a two-edged sword. The indirect assertion of a false value means deceit where 8
goods are intended to decoy by their appearance. Trade that puts confidence in the
declaration of the seller is deceived. The result of that deception is a loss of trade. The
question of loss of. good name is not always considered by the retailer, although it is af
ter all the mbst costly loss he can face. When mis-confidence stalks before tfre door
of the shop, trade deflects. With us it has been and it will continue ever: Treat the
public squarely tell them the truth give every man his money's worth.
We always do as we advertise.
