Letter From John Wanamaker.

TO THE EDITORS OF THE REPUBLICAN,.
To-day begins the third year Of tht
Gand Depot as Dry Goods House.
Though its career has been SO short
tits now almost universally acknow
lodged to be the favorite shopping place
of Philadelphia. Without pretensions
in its building, only simple structure
covering two acres and more of Dry
Goods, it relies solely on the quality
and cheapness of its goods and its owl
original system of business to win anc
hold the approval and patronage of tn.
people.
That the Grand Depot method of bus
mess is good one, is proven by its in
PRODUCTION, in parts, here and there,
by business houses throughout the city
and country, 60 so far as to copy, word
for word, our forms of guarantees, bum
die paper, etc.
To all this we make no objection.
Whatever others do, we always endeavor
to do something better, and the people
may rely on us as ever in the advance;
not only with the better classes of mer.
chandise, but in best accommodations for
the people.
This We are encouraged to de by the
wonderful patronage bestowed on us,
for which we present here our best
thanks.
The conspicuous improvements for the
year will repay careful notice:
First.-A higher grade of goods
throughout the house.
Second.-Better trained clerks.
Third.-Convenience in arrangement
of stocks.
Fourth.-Electrio bells to call cash
boys, avoiding noise and confusion.
This, and the saving Of time to GUS
toms, when waiting for parcels, is an
unspeakable satisfaction. Customers
wait on an average not over three min
utes for bundles, and sometimes one
minute is sufficient.
Fifth.-Every department. has been
improved, particularly the ribbons and
millinery, the gloves, the shawls, the
children's suits, the dress goods, the
dress,naking, the boys clothing, the
lace and embroideries, the white goods.
Sixth.-The new departments are
china and glassware, rugs and mating,
housekeeping goods, and lunch-room
for our customers only.
Many of the other departments have
been enlarged and improved. Such a
collection of merchandise under one
roof is a wonder to many. Visitors al
ways welcome. There are tllirty-four
The great increase in
our business this year fills us with
hope that the better days have come at
last.
Certain it is that goods of all kinds
can hardly be cheaper than they are
this Spring Of 1875.
Relying upon our skill in buying
goods, having the outlet to handle
large quantities, and thus getting ad
vantages in buying; determined not to
be underbid in prices, nor outdone or
outworked; confident that the people
believe in us, and the advantages of
such a place as tie Grand Depot, where
a very large business is economically
under one rent and organiza-
tion.-We believe the people will sustain
us, and lend us their influence to build
up the best dry goods house in the
United States.
We are ready in all departments for
the Spring business.

So, Let's All Laugh.

A good natured laugh is the key
to all breasts. The truth is, people
like to be laughed at in a general
sort of way. If you are making
yourself ridiculous you want to be
told of it in pleasant manner, not
sneered at. Aud it is astonishing
how frankly the laughing popula-
ton can talk without treading on
the sensitive toes of their neigh
bors. Why will people put on
long faces when it is so much
easier to laugh? Tears come to us
unsought and unbidden. The very
wi>est art in life is to cultivate
smiles, and TO find flowers where
others shrink away for fear of the
thorns.
DO NOT LAUGH
Z do not laugh at the drunken
man Keeling through the streets.
however ludicrous the sight may
be. Just pause and think: He is
going home to some tender heart
that will beat with intense agony;
some doting mother, perhaps, who
will grieve over the downfall of
him who was once her sinless boy;
or, perhaps, some fond wife, whose
heart will almost break with grief
as she views the destruction of her
idol; or, may be, loving sister,
who will shed bitter tears over the
degradation of her brother, shorn
of manliness and self-respect. AS
your eye follows the inebriates I'M
certain footsteps record a solemn
vowin heaven that while your life
endures you will do all that within
yon hes to help and further the
cause of temperance.

When you have the toothache, do
not be persuaded to try creosote.
1t gives temporary relief to the
carious tooth at the expense of de-
stroyIDg the sound ones. sa
In using lamentations, take care
that your face is not exposed to a
draft of cold air, the parts being
more sensitive to outward infin-
ence at that time. s'a ie. pt
When determined on having a
troublesome tooth ont, consider if
it is worth filing, for, after all, q
a natural tooth is the best. Never
have tooth drawn during infa-
nation Of the gnms; and also take
care, after extraction, to keep ont
the cold air. More addresses oc-
ear from neglect Of this than any
other cause.
