The advantages of opening and running an Account at Harrods
¶ It makes you in one sense a partner in the world’s most complete and up-to-date business.
¶ It ensures your every desire receiving the earnest attention of responsible people, and your slightest complaint the personal attention of the management.
¶ It saves you the bother of paying for numerous articles on delivery or at the time of purchase, and just as the whole of your buying can be done under one roof at Harrods, so you will no longer be troubled with a multitude of bills from different tradesmen—a single account at Harrods will cover the whole week’s transactions.
¶ Accounts are rendered promptly, and the housewife wishing to balance her accounts for the week or month is not kept waiting for odd bills to come in.
¶ Drapery goods are freely sent on approval to Customers possessing an account.
¶ Where a deposit is the basis of an account a bonus of one per cent. is allowed upon such a deposit of the value of £20 and upwards, provided each successive deposit be made before the preceding one has been exhausted.
¶ Customers who wish to avail themselves of the convenience of shopping by post, telegraph or telephone (a special telephone staff is on duty all night) will find that an account saves the trouble of making special arrangements for payment on each order.
¶ On receipt of a deposit, or of a satisfactory reference from a bank or a London tradesman, an account can be opened at Harrods. These accounts are rendered and payable every week in town and every month in the country, and special separate accounts (payable monthly) may be opened for drapery and fancy goods.
