About This Book

Three commercial partners establish a retail house and navigate the practical and personal challenges of building a business: choosing premises, arranging display and advertising, and dividing responsibilities. The narrative records opening-day blunders, promotional stunts such as prominent window displays, the creation of new merchandise, and social episodes including entertainments and courtship that lead to a marriage. Episodes of illness, rash sales, misunderstandings, and comic misadventures alter the firm’s prospects, and the story closes with a parting reflection and a final dreamlike episode that casts earlier events in a different light.
