Do you have a charge card with us? Do you want to open one? Do you have any letters that needs to be mailed? Do you want this gift wrapped? Do you have shoes to go with this? Do you have a matching purse? Do you want to join our Exclusive Shopper’s Club? It just takes a few minutes. Here is the application form. You put your name on this line where it says line.
