There was a string of drug stores in Chicago that appearted to make it a lhabit of not saying "Thank you" -they were forced to sell out at a loss. There is nothing that grates on my nerves quite as much as to pay -a check, a 'bill, or present legal tender in payment of purchase, and have the recipient of my money fail to express any appre6iation for the patronage extended. And there are millions of others just like me, One°of the most successful mercantile business concerns in the country has built it's (business on the motto, "It is only natural to trade where you are served best." Some cash register company might do good if they put a "Thank You" on their register, like cuckoo°a on clocks. Why shouldn't the customer be thanked? If one man gave another a dollar and the receiver didn't even grunt to show appreciation, you'd call him an ungrateful cuss and a poor specimen of humanity; yet, many.a sale at a profit equivalent to much more, is accepted with the air of "Well, it's coming to me." That is mighty poor (business, or else inexcusable ignorance. The cheery "Thank You," "'Call again," or some other such card on the inside of the door, or over the cash regvster, shows the right spirit and Paelps, but isn't enough. The American public are fickle buyers, and for $hat reason "business goes -where itmis invited, and stays and comes back to the place where it is well treated and served best." There is many a business house, many a commum'o, failing to make an expression of ap- preciation for patronage extended, that is thereby driving customers to its competitor, for it isn't always what is done, but what is left undone that' counts. "Thank You's" never drove business from any store or community, but lack of them has cost many) thousands upon thousands of dollars, Copyright, 1929, A. D. Stone.
