for higher standard Of living has been
stimulated by the great stores exploitation
of its wares, both by its new capacity and
facilities for displaying goods and the mod
ern methods of advertising them. For three
decades the brains and genius of the great
stores have been educating people TO want
things. The little shops that raised such
hullabaloo when the new store came were
content 10 sit and wait until the public
thought out the things wanted and came
for them. The great stores came and ex-
plotted their wares in such manner that
people who hadn't thought OF wanting the
things before came and bought them in
ever-increasing quantities. People were edu-
Gated out Of their old frugal ways OF living.
The big stores advertising did not steal
away the little stores business-it stimu-
lated new business. To-day the little stores
live and thrive more than ever before, de-
spite the vast number of large stores"
To Mr.. Brady is left the task Of dealing
with the shoppers time feature of depart
ment store trading. He writes of practical
experience gained by going to various stores
In New York, Brooklyn and Philadelphia.
He visited twelve stores, all within one
week, in November and December, calling
at about the same time Of afternoon in
each. He went through the same processes
of buying a paper OF hairpins at one counter
(Mr. Brady confesses to deficient shopping
imagination) and half yard of Lonsdale
muslin at another. This is his interesting
table of elapsed time from his enterirgs
of main doors to final receipts Of parcels and
change.

true that some coal-tar colors contain poi

about the thing which is infectious and con-
tagious. The bounce of the daily advertise
ment only reflects dimly the bounce Of the
store itself and It's belief In It's destiny.
This quotation is from the first division Of
group Of copyrighted articles on the great
department store contributed to the Book
lovers Magazine for May by Talcott Will
liams, w. r. Hotchkin and Cyrus Town
send Brady. Mr.. Williams goes from or
sanization to finance in his section, giving
some 1gures Of department store returns
which, he says, are estimates checked by
experts. He begins with Philadelphia,
where a tax on retail sales gives a clew.
There he finds for seven great stores annual
aggregate sales Of from s43.0 900 to 1000
600. New York is thrice the size of Phila-
delphia but Mr.. Williams thinks no one
would place the total sales there at over
twice those of Philadelphia, single stores in
special fields in New York drawing off more
than in other cities. Boston, with five or six
large department stores, has not much over
half the sales of Philadelphia, say, at
guess S25, 100 to $4,000, 900. Chicago prob
ably decidedly exceeds Philadelphia, and
would be placed at from $50. 1000 to s5S 0o0.-
600.
Mr.. Hotchkin's part Of the group story
deals with phases of small-store opposition
to the big stores. The writer says: Desire

No Great Sanitary Danger from Use of
Prepared Products.
Philadelphia Record.

A bulletin of analyses Of commercial fruit
juices. jams and jellies has been recently
issued by the United States Department Of
Gus and exact, the results do not embody
anything new or startling. II has long been
known that apple pulp and glucose syrup
are largely employed as diluents and sub
stitutes for the expensive fruits, and that
coal-tar colors and personalities are apt to
be present. The bulletin does not enter upon
the question of whoesomeness OF products.
sibility OF coal-tar colors containing metal
lie impurities 1t Is. indeed. question
whether these fruit preparations, even
when absolutely pure. are wholesome. They
are usually eaten on account OF their ac-
ceptable flavor or taste. and there Is great
liability to excessive consumption OF them.

THE DEPARTMENT STORE.
Vast Proportions OF It's Business-How
Small shops Have Been Affected.

Small shops Have Been Affected.
New York World.
"a department store is not so much an
aggregate of stores as an aggregate Of or
ganized human ability. Department stores
succeed, not because of the number of their
departments, but because Of the weight Of
ability they attract. Each man counts for
more in a department store than he would
alone or In q lesser organization. The proof
of this is personal, known to every man who
personally knows the personnel of store.
Nothing Is more striking among them than
the sense of organic enthusiasm. From the
owner or manager to the last cash boy,
everybody is 'chesty' 50 far as his relation
to the store is concerned. No crack regiment
magnifies it's place. it's tradition, its esprit
de corps and it's elan. as the staff Of de-
partment store. There Is zest, push. go

Mr.. Brown And Cotton.


Orleans correspondent of the
Manufacturers Record, Mr.. w.
y. Brown, who engineered the
gigantic cotton corner, declares
that what he has done is not specs
ulation. We believe, as he says,
that 1 l2 cents was not legiti-
mate price for the staple, AMI the
increasing demand has been such
that the quotations have steadily
improved. Rut when it Is re-
membered that the crop is now
out of the hands of the farmers
who raised it, and that syndi.
cate has undertaken to hold the
raw material from he mills un-
less they pay the price asked by
Brown and his associates, we fail
to see how any man with ordinary
common sense will believe such
statement.
