bigger amount of courage than the ex-
penditure of ten thousand times the
amount would cost him now 1t meant
100, big confidence in his goods and
big knowledge of human nature.
This year Mr.. Wanamaker COM
pletes full half century of business
life, and his associates have cele-
brated the occasion by publishing a
volume called the Golden Book of
the John Wanamaker Stores.
1t is interesting reading, this Gold
en- Jubilee Book. 1t is the story of a
pgmy which grew into a giant be-
cause it had giants heart. Although
a tale Of peaceful commerce, it is a
record of exciting battles fought and
won for principle. 1t is the history
of great revolution in business meth
DDS; of interest to and with an influ=
ence on every person who either buys
or sells anything in the civilized world
today
John Wanamaker was the Abolition
list of a principle of buying and selling
so that the ancient Romans coined
the phrase "Caveat Emptor" (let the
buyer beware) to express it. Until his
little store in Philadelphia advertised
its new policy of a square deal to its
customers, every merchant looked
upon buyer as his legitimate prey.
To get as much as one could and give
as little in return for it as possible
was considered the height of business
acumen.
John Wanamaker was the apostle
of fair play in business; from the be-
ginning of his career he preached and
practiced the doctrine that bargain
was not bargain unless both parties
to it benefited by the transaction
The present generation cannot ap-
preciate the disbelief, opposition and
ridicule with which the announce
ment of this new policy was received.
Shopping, in any first-class store, is
now so simple, easy and safe for the
experienced buyer, that it is taken as
a matter of course. The millions of
shoppers scattered each day through
out the great stores of the country
are indebted to John Wanamaker for
the consideration, courtesy and fair
dealing which they now receive.
The story of Mr.. Wanamakers
against the deep-seated bust
ness traditions, and his victory over
them, is only a small portion of the
dramatic material with which the
Golden Book is filed
Throughout the whole of the half
century since he started his little
store, John Wanamaker has breathed
into its workings the spirit of Origi-
nality and Progress. There was no
standing still in any one of the fifty
years. Every step forward brought
out new ideas, new fields explored,
new methods for the convenience of
new plans for the comfort
and safety of his constantly growing
army of employees.
John Wanamaker was the pioneer
who led the way to so many improve
ments in merchandising that mere
list of them would overrun the limits

SOME HINTS ON SWEEPING
Broom In the Hands Of the Inexperi'

Than Good.

1t is not an easy matter to sweep
well, at any rate. if one judges by ex-
perience, for when a broom is put in
to the hands of the inexperienced
more harm than good generally results
from the use of it.
Light sweeping and soft brooms are
desirable. Many carpet is prema-
In sweeping thick piled carpets al
ways brush the way of the pile. BY
doing so it may be kept clean Tor
years; but If the broom is used in
different way the dust will enter the
carpet and soon destroy it.
If the carpet covers the whole floor
of the room and it is nailed down.
place the chairs and other articles or
furniture which can be easily moved
in the middle of the room, pin up the
curtains and cover the couch with an
old sheet
Pieces of damp paper may be
sprinkled round the sides of the room,
and then sweep with carpet broom
toward one place.
Take short strokes, being careful
not TO raise the broom much. Sweep
the corners and edges with a small
whiskbroom
Put two tablespoonfuls of ammonia
into one gallon of water; wiring cloth
out of this and wipe the carpet. This
will remove the dust and help to
brighten the carpet.

PLAIN WASHING SODA'S USES
Chemical Is Great Saver of Work and
Almost Indispensable to the
Housekeeper.

Uses for common washing soda:
One heaping tables poonful of soda to
a pint of water (boiling) will clean
the ugliest burned pan by letting it
soak few hours.
In boiling clothes a few tablespoon
fuls of soda in the water will Grad
icate stains from clothes and lend
snowy whiteness. l have used 1t on
the finest quality of white goods with
entire satisfaction. 1t will not injure
the material.
To clean coffee or tea pot made
of granite or lined with porcelain, I'LL
up the utensil with cold water, set on
stove to boil, and add lump of soda
as large as hazelnut to the water.
1t cleanses perfectly. In fact, sweet
ness is insured after its usage in ev.
cry instance.
To clean silver: Put level ia.

cold water, put on fire to boil (put
silver in pan in the Geld water), and
