Canadian grocer January-June 1898 . grocer ; SolomonSweet, general merchant, Sutton, Ont.,have been burned out. VALUE OF COURTESY IN THESTORE. A lady of the writers acquaintance, whohas had extensive experience as a shopper,says that the scarcest commodity in the de-partment stores is courtesy. She says alsothat in the smaller grocery stores the un-couthness of some of the clerks is almost asrepellent as the open insolence of the sales-lady of the bazars. It is evident, she re-marks, that these young men mean well, pbut they are sadly lacking in polish. Manygood customers, she finds, are driven to thesmaller stores by the inattention of the de-partment store assistants.
