WANAMAKER
PHILADELPHIA, Monday, Feb. 7, 1898.

PHILADELPHIA, Monday, Feb. 7, 1898
Wanamaker'sis a household word.
1t is considered generally as a great
big store, where quite lot of peo-
pie are employed, where pretty
much everything is sold. But let's
look into it little more carefully.
Let us see how big it is-and bet
ter, how good it is.
We speak of the Philadelphia
store alone. The New York store
is a counterpart-not quite so large,
but growing and growing to catch
up.
There are eighteen acres of floor
space in this rambling strong old
building that varies from three to
six stories high.
There are six acres more room in
the several outside buildings we
need and use.
There are eighteen elevators
ten for passengers.
There is restaurant that easily
serves three thousand orders daily.
At holiday times we had five
thousand two hundred and five peo-
pie employed Cover three thousand
in New lork-over 5000 in alb.
We have extra help then, but the
census keeps close to four thousand
in Philadelphia all the time.
In a single month we have sold
something over two million dollars
worth of goods-more than all the
department stores and dry goods
stores in Richmond, Virginia, sell
in year.
And still we state these facts
with no wish to boast. They prove
something.
This store has nc Note@ts on
business methods. /; 'hls gown
from nothing simply through de-
serving to grow.
Each year we send twenty-five
buyers to Europe and Asia to gather
fine and odd and useful goous tor
your enjoyment. We'd like to sell
only American goods-WhlchmeaUS
thatWe shall welcome the day when
American manufacturers can more
nearly supply every want.
And this store has distinct field.
It does not depend for favor OF buSi-
ness upon your neglect OF home
stores. Don't neglect them. Those
merchants are your toWnSmen, your
taxpayers, your nelghborS. Buy
from them all you Can. We dom
sell groceries because grocery sell
inc is unnrteSSary-you can be
FULLY supplied with them anywhere.
But where wide range of Selec-
ton in fabrics is an advantage,
where our frequent trade move
mentS mean large econOmy--Where
you must depend on city store,
of course it is fair to presume lnat
the store good enough to grow by
your favor into the biggest retail
store in America, still merits tIat
favor. Its latch-string hangs out.
We haven't said word about
goods-yet, spring stocks here and
coming exceed in value four mil
lion dollars. We answer letters
promptly and fill orders carefully.
But come if you can. The store is
enjoyable.
