struction will begin. Before

scene that has delighted so
many hundreds of thousands
will be only a memory.
It will, however. be quickly replaced by
another graphic subject appropriate to an
other chapter in our store history as it will
open at the beginning Of the next week.
With the exit of the holidays we desire to
express our thanks to the vast numbers of
people that have appreciated our store and
its service by giving us business that we
believe is without equal or approach for
magnitude in the history OF New York retail
ing. Over thirty-ive thousand distinct de-
liveries were made in single day, many of
them involving great bulk and numerous
items. Our store system stood the strain
finely. Of course It is human to err, and
some mistakes were made, but the number
was reduced to minimum, and corrections
promptly followed.
Intelligent self-nterest demands that the
great business of 1898 shall be an inspiration
for 1899 We have ideals for large retailing
that will soon find expression.
