GOOD STORE SERVICE The Ad r^an le a firm bf Hover In "Store Service," in order io get and hold business; but he a lao know? that lhere are a groat many persons who, from time to time prate loud and long about ".Store Service" who haven't the faintest conception of the meaning of the term. They would not know good "Store Service" if they met lt face to face in the middle of tho road. This brings to mind an occurrence of a few days ago, which certainly wss a good example of "Store Service." without any exaggeration. A iiav< elling man, by the name of lt. S. Therreli, representing Sprague Warner & Co., was in thc city'calling on the two local grocers The Ideal Croc* cry Co., and Thc Anderson Cash Grocery Co., the ones who have the ex elusive agency for their goods In Anderson, and being told by one of the grocers that they knew of a certain coffee prospect who, if once convinced that their "Improved Vacuum" coffee was all that Sprague Warner & Co. claimed for lt. that he would prove a very valuable customer. The sales man, without a moment's hesitation, asked the groceryman to send for that gentleman, so that he, the salesman, could meet him and tell him All about the process through which this Improve;; Vacuum coffee had gone through. In order to make it absolutely harmless. This done-the gentleman called, and the salesman explained in detail, and in an inter esting manner how the coffee was treated so as to rob lt of its injurious properties, without in any manner detracting from thc elegant llavor or the coffee; and after explaining this process, he asked permission of tho customer to give him a pound package of this coffee free, so that ho could try lt out thoroughly, and determine for himself, the merits of this coffee. Of course, you will say that this was "geod business." lt w as good business; but how many of us are broad minded, nnd far sighted enough to grasp sn opportunity like this? There was no chance for any Im mediate Returns from this giving away of n thirty live cent pn'kage of coffee; but lt offered this representative of a truly great Grocery concern an opportunity to demonstrate to one or his customers, thnt they were not only willing, but anxious to aid them In building up a good business on their line. That's where the "Store Service" came In. Thia salesman also grasped this opportunity to tell this customer of some Of the nice things that his company was doing for their employes; among them were the following: Sprague Warner & Co. had built, equipped, and were maintaining -. hospital for Tuberculosis for any em ployee of theirs, who was not able to pay their way. either wholly, or in part That the founder of tho company. Mr. A. A. Sprague had only a few dsya before his death succeeded In arranging a plan, by which any em ployee who had worked for thora twenty five years, could retiro on a fifty per cent salary of tho average salary earned during that time. Tret-. ty nice, ch? Of course lt ls nice! lt ls better thnn that. It ls something fin?! And it will count for something with both that merchant and thc consumer, to whom tho above story WUB told. Here vas the loyal and loving tribute of a well satisfied employee, thousand miles from his homo-told simply and solely because ho be lieved la the truth and integrity of the house which he represented. D**n't you know it waa A thuosand times better than nn hour's "hot air" talk about the magnitude of "his house." How much botter that kind Ot a talk than ona about the mistreatment one often hears or these days. An employer may think that he can mistreat his employees, and that his trade-his customers-will : jt resent it, but he ls terribly mistaken. In proportion to the benefit that a concern receives from good treat ment like that mentioned above, mean and contomptiblo treatment ot em ployees who are not In a position to resent it, reacts with telling effect on the employer who Indulges his mean-ness and littlc-ncBs on his em ployes. Long' life, and a prosperous one to concerns liku Sprague Warner & Co. Mry they live long and prosper! SASSEEN THE AD MAN. The Piano Endorsed by .'. 1 - . g.
