i about the WANASfAKER STORE
You feel it, and believe in it, if you
are familiar with the store. The
attitude of this personality toward
the public has revolutionized New
York retailing in the last half
dozen wears. You who remember
the old shopping methods before
WANAMAKER's came, will realize
how many of the inconvenience
and unpleasantnesses OF shopping
have disappeared since WANA-
MAKERS gave to New York the
policy of pleasing people under all
circumstances.
But it is not the old attitude Of
" bowling and scraping to caiole
a customer into a bad bargain,
which could not be righted after
ward.
1t is an attitude OF assurance in
the worth of the merchandise
presented. An attitude OF con-
fidence that establishes the law
that every salesperson shall tell
the absolute truth always; and
reply to ali questions asked,
frankly, pleasantly, and intelli-
gently.
The WANAMAKER idea Is antag-
onistic to the old policy OF fear to
tell the truth about merchandise.
If a blanket has cotton in it, that
is ne disgrace We tell it frankly.
Many people prefer a blanket that
is part cotton. If a customer
wants an all-wool blanket, 1t is
here If the price is higher 1t Is
right. Ii some other store has
told the customer that a part wool
blanket is all-wOol, and the Gus
toner thinks our blanket dear, and
goes to the other store to buy the
deception, we have lost a sale, but
kept our reputation and will
probably get that customer back
when the cotton begiEs to show IN
the cheat
1t is not question of morals or
sentiment. In the cold logic OF
fact, Honesty is the best policy,
slow as is the lesson IN the learning.
The WANAMAKER STORES per-
sonality presents an attitude OF
pleasantness, confidence, frank
ness, helpfulness, anxiety to please
and satisfy. in every transaction.
Wherever this store fails IN any
of these particulars, some human
agency has failed in its loyalty TO
the principles of the house. And
where upwards of four thousand
human minds and pairs OF human
hands, with the instincts OF human
frailty, compose an organization,
human weakness will at times fail.
But the ideal is ever present. The
intent is in every pulse-beat (; and
every error is promptly, pleasantly,
and. if possible, effectually righted;
the flaw in the machinery corrected;
and endeavor continued.
We are trying TO deserve the
success that has come to NANA-
MAKER methods i'll New York
III we knew how to serve the
whole public better, we would do
it. The best that seems possible
today, we are doing. We hope TO
do better tomorrow.

Crop Bulletin for Week Ending
May 25.

Des Moines, Iowa.---Continu-
ed wet and cloudy weather
during the past week, with very
heavy local downpours, increas-
e. the unfavorable conditions
of soil and still further delayed
corn planting and field work in
large portions of the central
and western districts of the
state. The most cheering re-
ports come from the counties
contiguous to the Mississippi
river, wherein the showers
were timely and beneficial, soft
ening the clods and facilitating
the work of blowing and plant
ing. In the northeast district
and portions of the east central
and southeast districts, the con-
ditions have been much improv-
ed by warmth and moisture.
The heaviest down-pour of
rain, with more or less damage
by wind, hail and tightening,
occurred in the Missouri river
districts. This will materially
lessen the corn acreage in a
considerable portion of the ter
rltory visited by the heavy
storms of the past week. Ger
mination of corn has been gen
orally very satisfactory with in
dications of an excellent stand
in all sections. Small grain,
pastures and meadows have
made fine growth. The chief
drawback is the tendency 10
rank growth of the oat crop en-
rich soils.
The general crop situation is
still contingent upon a return
to normal weather conditions.

Any Manhood Lei?

Laport Press (Republican): It
is announced in Wall street that
John D. Rockefeller has Just
completed negotiations that pla-
ces every oil field in the United
States in his hands. There can
not be any competition in the
future and you will have to pay
just as much for oil as Rookie
Teller demands or go without.
Pretty soon the coal mines and
other necessities will be each in
the hands of one man, who,
owning all, WILDE able to charge
what he pleases. There will be
no combination, no trust; it will
be simply the ownership of the
necessity. What will you do
then? Along the railroads in
