The building up of the huge establishments, to which some persons
object, has nearly put an end to the old system of guzzling, cheating,
and lying. The clerks in these great stores go to business at eight

interval for dinner. They work all day in a clean and pleasant place,

establishment must be conducted honestly, or it cannot long go on. Its
very largeness _compels_ an adherence to truth and fact.
