There is no doubt Of that" was the
reply. Such stores are demanded by the
times. They are in the interest of the

nizes no law except the survival OF the
fittest, and the small dealer Is crowded

But will this system not keep growing
until there are no small stores?"
There will always be small stores"
said Mr.. Selfridse. But they will be re-
stricted to localities where they are a con-
y%erience to the immediate neighborhood,
or else to the smaller towns, away from
the great centers. The retail business of
the big cities will always be done in big
stores"
A GREAT MERCHANTS TRUST.
But are not such stores against the in
terests Of the consumer? Will they not
monopolize trade and then swallow up
each other? Is there not danger that We
may some day have a great merchants
trust. which will hold all consumers by the
throat?''

Il should think. Mr.. Selfridge, that the
Twentieth Century stores which you de:
scribe would be the death TO individual
ambition.
In the past, with a few thousand dol
