HOW ONR CITY GROWS.

Yesterday must have been a proud day fer Mr..
Wanamaker. 1t is scarcely ten years since he CON-
menced business, mere lad so far as years go.
with but few hundred dollars OF capital and
nothing but his own resolute will and wonderful
tsrprise to back him, he opened small clothing
house, and called it oaklHall. And now, after ten
short years. but years OF as hard work as ever man
did, he nnds himself, or rather has made himself,
master OF the largest clothing house in
America, occupying one OF the finest loca-
tions for business in our city, doing
a million and half OF business a year, employing
more than a thousand hands, and with the prospect
of future expansion surprising anything in the past
He has had everything to contend with-want OF
prestige the petty jealousy OF rival merchants times
most unfaverable for business extension, and num-
berless slanders designed to inure him in reputation
and credit But all these things have served only to
stimulate him, and the only reply that he has
made to his assailants has been redoubling OF his
EFFORTS and determination TO outstrip them all.
He has devoted himself with untiring strength Of
purpose to the work OF building up great business
and every year has advanced him toward that end.
His hsuse soon became popular, and to-day there is
no name more familiar to all our readers than that
OF Wanamaker Brown. He laid deep and broad
foundations and not only attracted but retained
toners. He has done more than any other man in
the trade TO advance the standard OF ready made
clothing, and has by skilful management kept the
scale Of prices low.
And now he has MS reward. Acknowledged as a
man OF rare executive ability, he stands at the
head OF the clothing trade, with a business
house which is OF itself vast fortune for any
His new buildings were thrown open to the public
yesterday, and they no less credit to our city
than a triumph to their proprietor Oak Hall has
been the largest clothing house in Philadelphia, but
now, doubled in size, 1t excels IN magnitude all
other such establishments in the country, neither
