More quotes by Harry Gordon Selfridge
Treat [the customer] as guests when they come and when they go, whether or not they buy. Give them all that can be given fairly, on the principle that ‘to him that giveth shall be given’. Remember always that the recollection of quality remains long after the price is forgotten. Then your business will prosper by a natural process.
Harry Gordon Selfridge

Harry Gordon Selfridge
