"The Shopping Center"
Our Store
"TATHO is satisfied is well paid." This German proverb, although originally meant for individuals, can, in this day and generation, apply with similar significance to things the individual has supervision over?for instance, STORES! We are not, and never have been, entirely satisfied with our store.
No difference how complete and perfect, and how beautiful it may seem to you?no matter if you are altogether satisfied with it?
WE ARE NOT! And it is very probable we never would have traveled thus far on the commercial highway if we had been. For it is generally recognized that nothing so completely steals away one's initiative or hinders one's progress as that "supremely satisfied" feeling which sometimes possesses one concerning things, conditions or one's self.
So, not being satisfied with our store, we are trying all the time to make it better! This fall it will be in advance of last spring. And next spring it will be still further advanced than this fall.
The store is growing better in its assortments of merchandise and more helpful in its SERVICE to the people, just as it is growing greater in area!
It is a story of PROGRESS, day after day.
