WANAMAKER ON The BIC
DEPARTMENT STORES.
SUPERIORITY OF SERVICE WINS

SUPERIORITY OF SERVICE WINS.
The only advantage of the large
store over the small is to be found
said Mr.. Wanamaker, in the superiori-
ty of it's service. 1t is also true that
generally the employee in large store
is better off than the proprietor of a
small store. Some employees are paid
$4,000 year and many $4,000.
Speaking of the effect of combination
stores on small shopkeepers, he said
it could not be denied that one of the
effects of the big stores had been to re-
tire from business smaN retailers, but
he commended that, while this was true,
the interests of these few people were
not to be compared with the interests
of the mass of the people.
Moreover, he said it must be borne
in mind that even before the depart
ment stores came into existence not to
exceed per cent of those who went
into business failed. The wholesale
stores and jobbers were also greatly
affected by the fact that the large
stores deal directly with the manu-
facturer, but this, on the other hand,
was great benefit to the manufac-
turer
He classified the present large city
store as merely an enlargement of the
general crossroads country store, and
the greatest advantage found in it was
that it eliminated adventures and spec
ulators from the business.
do not the large retailers often
make point of buying up bankrupt
stocks?" he was asked.
IF they do they are children mer-
chants or idiots'' the witness replied.
He went on to say that he had been
of this class until within ten or twelve
years ago, but he had changed his
methods in recent years. He had dis
covered that the people did not want
debris such as bankrupt stocks are. The
great demand was for new things,
BIG STORE A UNIVERSITY.
He also argued that the properly con
Quoted store was a university educat-
ing the employee not only in writing,
spelling, etc, but in morals. Men were
often discharged for lying to custom
ers.
Summing up, Mr. Wanamaker conclu-
ded that there was no basis for the hue
and cry against the big stores, and
that the only basis for such criticism
was found in the misfortunes of the
complainers.
Mr. Wanamaker said that when he
had first gone into business he had
thought well to do his own manufac-
turing. but he had abandoned the idea.
In this connection the witness took
occasion to say that the worst blow
that this carpet business of Philadel-
phia had ever received was when the
high tariff was put upon carpets, shut
ting out foreign goods. The result was
over home production.
He did not believe in selling goods
at less than cost as a mere bait and
expressed the opinion that the store
which followed this practice expected
to make up the loss on some other ar
ticle, where the advance would not be
suspected.

the singers and comedians are some

FLAG LIEUTENANT
Is AT POINT OF DEATH.

Washington, Dec. 1O,-Fears are en-
tertained that Lieut.. Thomas NJ. Brum-
by Admiral Dewey's flag lieutenant
while that officer was in command of
the Asiatic station, will be unable to
recover from malady contracted as
a result Of his stay in the Philippines.
Lieut. Brumby is desperately i'll at
Garfield hospital in this city, and his
case is pronounced very serious by
the attending physicians. He is be-
lieved to be suffering from an aggra-
waited attack of malarial fever, the
gravity of which has been increased
by the strain due to the arduous char
acter of his official duties.
He is delirious much of the time, and
in this condition constantly talks about
Admiral Dewey and the battle Of Man
lila bay, describing the different events
which occurred during the fight, and

it showed that there was wind blow
ing whcn they passed.
This was at in the morning, and
though there was no wind blowing then
there had been about two hours be-
lore, The sum total of the colonels
deductions was that this party had
been taking beer from the village to
the enemy on the hills, and would ar
rive there about 6 o'clock.
The men would start drinking at
once, and by the time he could reach
them, would be getting sleepy from it,,
and so he could reconnoitre their DO
sition without difficulty. He followed
the track, found the enemy and got
away with excellent information. Fv-
erything had happened as he had de-
Quoted. No wonder the Matabele call
him 'impeesi," or wolf, and the man
who never sleeps. And no wonder also
that the Beers should fear him more
than any other soldier.

apparently believing he is again ac-
lively participating in the destruction
Of the Spanish feet.
Lieut.. H H. Caldwell, Admiral Dew
ey's secretary, is with Lieut. Brumby,
attending to his wants, and the admiral
and Mrs. Dewey frequently call to in
quire about his condition. The young
officers physicians fear he cannot sur
vive. His relatives from Georgia have
been summoned to Washington.
Commander E. P. Wood, another of
the officers who served under Admiral
Dewey during the battle of Manila
bay, is lying seriously i'll at his home
in this city. of typhoid fever. Com
mander Wood was in command of the
gunboat Petrol during the battle, and
under orders destroyed several Span
ish vessels which had sought safety
behind the fortifcations at Sangley
point.

cERvERA's BOOK.

Spanish Admiral Seeks to indicate
Himself Before His Enemies.
Washington, Dec 10.-Another contri-
button to the naval literature of the
Spanish war has been published by the
bureau of naval intelligence. 1t is a his
tory by Admiral Cervera of the fleet UNI
der his command which was destroyed by
the American squadron off Santiago
The original publication was authorized
by the queen regent of Spain on the petit
ton of Admiral Cervera, who wished to
vindicate himself for the loss of his squad
ron after having been sent to Cuba against
his earnest protest. The document is of
historical value, as 1t is made up entirely
of official letters and dispatches and in
cudes the report of Admiral Cervera and
his feet commanders on the action of
Santiago bay. There is nothing of news
value In the compilation which has not
already been printed from time to time.

Washington, Dec. 9.--John Wanna
maker testified today before the indus
trial commission on the subject of de-
partnent stores. He said that these
stores We're beneficial to society, having
a substantial economic and moral basis
for their ex stence.
1T is" he continued, "a natural pro-
Duct evolved from conditions that exist
as a result of fixed trade laws. Cheaper
capital, better transportation, more
rapid communication make the modern
retail store possible, natural and useful,
therefore, inevitable.
Executive capacity, combined with
the command of capital, finds opportu-
nifty in these conditions, which are in
harmony with the irresistible determin-
alton of the producer to meet the con-
sumner directly and of merchandise to
find distribution along the lines of least
resistance
Economy in the expenditure of
money, time and effort measures depart
ment store success. Just in proportion
as these ends are reached is it popular,
powerful and prosperous"
He contended that the effect of the
creation Of these stores had been to re-
duce retail prices. In support of this
StdlGulSIll ne dSSGEltu ludl upOH ALltI-
lean dry goods generally the retailers
percentage of profits has been reduced
one-half during the last twenty years
This was also true upon wooden, silk
and cotton fabrics. The total per cent of
reduction in prices to the consumer
could not be stated, owing to the vary
ing standards of qualities and taste and
Improvements in manufacture, but Mr.
Wanamaker believed that the consumer
saves the entire reduction in the retail
er's profit.
MR. WANAMAKER COMPARES
PRICES.
In some articles definite comparisons
Of prices were made as follows; Kitch-
en- agate ware is now retailed at less
than one-half the prices of $780, Prices
of some wooden ware articles for do
nestle use have fallen 80 per cent in
fifteen years. Many housekeeping arti-
cles manufactured of metal, wood and
wire have been reduced so per cent in
twenty years.
The causes of these reductions in con-
Stunning costs are, he said. various, but
prominent. Among them are the power
of the large retailer to buy cheaper and
sell for reduced rates of profit.
1t could also be stated, he said, that
the prontS OF the great retail stores very
from to 6 per cent on the dollar of
business done.
Mr.. Wanamaker also argued that re-
duced prices stimulate consumption and
increase employment. More labor is re-
quired, he said, for production, trans
portation and distribution. The public
service is the sole basic condition of the
growth of the retail business. The var
iety of articles dealt in is such that it
is impossible to form combinations and
trusts in the retail business. 1t is much
the same, he contended, as the journal
