; ? ■ . ■: '■ 11. mu m . . The Store where Value Dwe H H ii/3 H H K H fi 8i H is . 1 Goodwill and Confidence Or Wednesday we concluded one of the most succesessful and brilliant Bargain Sales ever held at PETTIE & GO’S. The reputation of this store re4s on a solid foundation. We have the goodwill and confidence of our customers, which arc our most valued assets. No matter what bargains others may offer, the people know that our bargains are better. We thank You ‘ I To you residents of the town and country alike—to every one who has patronised us to the extent of even a shillings worth—to you who have tested our Values, and recommended them to others—to you who so . graciously made your purchases amidst the noise and dust of alterations during the past month, wc record our sincere thanks. A Store of Character \ The Store like the individual, earns a character which may he good or bad according to the methods employed in earning that reputation. In conducting our bnsiness we have fixed principals whereby every customer receives the same advantages. The people know that the values here are always fair, that it is always possible to buy goods cheaper at PETITE’S than to send away for them. Keen Prices No Abatement We sell our goods at keen prices. We don’t look for big profits. When wc render an account wc insist on receiving the full amount, which is the only fair and honest way of doing business. We positively would not trade with a manufacturer who "would do his business in any other way, and we want all our customers to have the same confidence in us that we have in the merchants we do business with. Most people now realise that when they buy a pound’s worth of goods at PETTIE’S, that there is full twenty shillings worthot* aL ue and that uo abatement is made or expected. Discounts Wc allow 5 per cent discount on ail goods paid for at lime of purchase, 31 per cent discount if paid by the 20th of the month following the first rendering of the account, after which no discount is allowed. Errors Rectified “Whoever thinks a faultless piece to see, thinks what ne’er was, nor is, nor 'ere shall be.” So wrote Pope and no one will be disposed to question the truth of the sentiment. We do not pretend that PETTIE & CO. is without faults, or that we do not make mistakes. But to quote Dryden, “ Errors like straws upon the surface flow, he who would seek for Pearls must dive below.” A surface view of our business mav reveal faults, trifling, perhaps stiff faults ; but those who understand PETTIE & CO., know full well that down below the surface lies our firm fixed and unalterable determination to deal with all patrons, fairly, courteously, and without subjecting them to annoyance or inconvenience. Wc have just passed another milestone in our business journey, and we seize upon the occasion to say when a mistake or a misunderstanding occurs we are always eager to rectify the matter as soon as it- is brought to our attention. We would far rather have a complaint made to us, than have a customer keep silent and feel that the Store has been unfair. V lII© ettte St Limited* H H T. E.
