This is not merely store fer the sale of

Wansmaker has entered upon q field where
even in so short time. he has surpassed al
rivalry Acting upon the lesson Of The olt
i adage, that las The twig IS bent the tree,

ment. which is certainly the most com plet,
we have ever seen. There are so few place,
where parents can obtain clothing For voune
boys, except of The most ordinary patterns
that already the ladies are discovering tbs
superiority of this weil-selected aud enor

There is another feature about this grea
emporium which has helped TO build it NJ
and which is of the greatest use in popular
izing Philadelphia as a resort for country
purchasers. This is the uniform cuuftasl
with which every visitor is treated. Every
person about the place esems to be actuateC
by the desire to excel his fellows in civiity
and no amount of trouble seems 10 b
gruoged to crafty even the merest CURIOSITY
Attracted by the beautiful display in tn
show windows, passers by are frequently in
duced 10 enter the store merely TO lool
around, and while the treasures they fu,
generally tempt them to purchase they ar
never treated as intru6eTs. 1t is very rar
thing indeed TO find SO many employ ees AM
amongst them all. SO far as our own expert
encesor heTesay enables us to speak Dot OF
lacking in true and corteons politeness.
In addition to this wonderfully cornrle,
establishment on Chestnut street., Mr.. Wan
amaker conducts the immense store on Sixt

course of year over one million and ha
dollors' worth Of goods. the principal par
