Marvellous Growth Of the
Big Department Store
Detailed

That the growth Of a business does
not depend upon the amount Of capital
invested has been proven many times.
Twenty-Five years ago, what is now
the largest department store Of LIP
pincott and Company was started in
little store at s12 Market street The
building had a frontage of hardly
more than Is feet and a depth Of pos
sibly so feet.
Mr.. 1ippincott, who had started in
the dry goods business as a boy, began
in this store with three clerks beside
himself, and by dint OF hard work and
close attention has built up a business
second TO none in the State.
First IL was just an ordinary little
dry goods store and many were the
predictions that it would never be a
success. but Mr.. Lippincott had the
idea that If he could please his Gus
toners and give them what they
wanted that he could succeed
From the dry goods store there
branched out a womans coat and suit
department in the second story front
room that had been remodeled for 1t.
In another year or two even the en-
larged store was too small and the
building at No. 80 Market street was
added. but only the first floor and
second floor front were used. A lit
tie later on the second floor was ex-
tended over the whole store and an
elevator was installed. a thoroughly
up-to-date one, and the first of its
kind in dry goods store In Delaware.
In the course OF a few years, even
with the largely increased space, there
was need for more room and the
properties at No. s0s and sos Marker
street We're secured and the largest
remodelling operation that they had
ever undertaken was accomplished by
this enterprising firm. giving them
more than double the amount of space
that they had before. II was sup
posed that they would not have to do
any more remodellinS for years and
years, but some time ego they ac-
quired the property OF No. Eas,
Third street with the idea Of adding IL
at some future time to their large
establishment. This. II is understood.

future.
In the last rebuilding operation they
furnished the basement for house
furnishing goods section and have one
Of the very best in the State OF Del
aware. and from time 10 time they arc
continuing to add FIRST enc and then
another department TO the already
well equipped store.
The latest to be started is a new
candy store in the basement. For
several years there has been a de-
mand by their customers for a new
spotlessly clean candy store, where
pure. fresh candies could be bought at
minimum price. Lippincott and Conn
pany have met this demand.

signs that the alleged discrimination practiced
will be done away with The railroad company
of late years especially, has shown a marked dis
position to join heartily with the business inter

have doubt that the efforts of the Board Of
