81 The Waaamaker Stores)
MYTH the opening Of the
w Wanamaker Piano Store,
April Is. 1899, musical merchan-
disc, perhaps the noblest of all
goods and chattels, was lifted out
of the bondage of unfair and un-
economic traffic.
Strangely enough, pianos did
not Immediately come, along with
other merchandise, under the new
system of American retailing that
grew up with the New Kind of
Store. Until offered for sale at
Wanamaker's in 1899. they still
remained-and remain even to
this day in many ~stores-an OBJ
jcct of dicker and barter.
"You may be able 70 sell other
merchandise on the one-price-
guaranteed : quality : money : re-
turned-if-not-satisfactory plan," it
was said. "but moi pianos-the
public wants TO bargain for them"
Yet pianos are sold to people of
the most refined and sensitive
tastct
I'VE shall see," the New Kind
OF Store responded - and after
carefully canvassing the piano
manufacturing world. choosing
the best instruments and making
trade alliances with honored max
ers. the Wsn.msker Piano Stcre
was opened under the full Wanna
maker system~
WhatWa the Reason?
Not a piano wa. sold the first
day.
Hundreds Of people came and
looked.
Piano dealers came, too, nod
ding their heads and saying under
their breath. we told you sol"
Then the public began to realize
the new conditions-slowly but
surely.
Slowly, but surely, the Wsns-
maker Piano Stores prospered-
and prospered-until today they
are credited with doing the larg-
est annual piano business, not
only in the United States. but in
the world.
But much more was accom-
plished.
The standard of pianos was
raised; their prices were lowered,
and by the Wanamaker partial
payment system (piano delivered
into the home upon a small first
payment; the remainder of the
purchase price TO be paid period
lcally In small proportions) pianos
were brought within reach of
thousands of families who here
tofore could not afford TO a
musical instrument.
1t Meant Education
The Wanamaker Piano Stores
have been q stimulus TO the entire
piano business. They have spurred
manufacturers on to new and bet
ter efforts. They have brought
new life into an industry that
needed revivifcation.

In Philadelphia and New York
pianos have been given artistic

WHEN IS 4 CROP rA;sEO {?
Il Is Really the Result Of the Treat.
mont the Land Has Had for
q Number q Years.

Is the crop rads cd the year sown or
was it raised last year? The grain on
ground that was in corn last year HIS
the appearance of yielding twice as
much as that on land in wheat year
ago, which would seem to indicate
that the crop was at least partly
grown last year.
This brings us to the conclusion
that a crop is not the result of the
work put on it this year alone but
that it is really the result Of the treat
ment the land has had for a number
Of years.
It is not too late to begin growing
next years crop. Corn can not be
grown but the land can be given cult
walton to save moisture. When the
crop is cut the land is left hard and
oftentimes cracked-this means that
the moisture is going to get away
rapidly so that by the time blowing is
begun the soil will be too dry to pillow
we'll If it is plowed dry few bush
els is taken out of next years crop
AS soon as the grain is cut, disc the
land, or better yet. follow the binder
with the disc This will loosen up the
surface soil and stop the upward
movement of the moisture. This
moisture will make it possible to pillow
the land better; it will also make
plant food available and the next
year help the plant and especially in
case of a dry season.-W. G. Palmer

Trees and Shrub
berry for Ornament
tai Purposes.
~ President J. n. WORT.


- + j. f + + + + /. + + + + + i. +
1t has been fully demonstrated at
this station that the harder sorts Of
trees, such as the white ash, hlckber-
~, elm, box elder, willow. etc, need
saly cultivation to give them a viEor-
Gus growth, such that the trees sttain
an average height Of thirteen feet
when six years old from seed.
To group these trees in artistic CON-
bination with vines and shrubbery so
Is to make the home more comfort
able and attractive, is quite another
thing, and to accomplish which in per-
lection requires the greatest degree of
6ne art. At the same time there are
Z few simple and we'll recognized rules
70 observe that make for harmony and
variety, and to violate which brings
shout an expression OF disorder or of
poverty.
First Of all do not plant struggling
specimens here and there, or what is
worse still, in rows, but plant in com
pact groups especially at the sides
and near the house, with open
stretches of lawn between. This is
done for two reasons. In the first
place, most trees, the cottonwood be.
ing the most notable exception, sue
csed best when planted near each 9th.
er, and in the second place they look
better. Heavy masses of trees at the
rear and boundaries make an etIec-
tive setting that single trees even in
large numbers do not give. A house
on plain without trees or even In a
regularly planted grove looks lone
some, while even a wild thicket encir-
cling place gives an expression of
snugness and seclusion that no place
can be attractive without.
In selecting trees for group,
choose the larger and coarser sorts
like the white ash and elm for the
center, and about these plant the
blackberry, wild plum, sumac, choke
cherry, thornapple, etc., using the slow
growing and compact shrubs at the
outside. The outline of the group
should not be circle, Of course, nor
yet should the group be too thin or
struggling A long diameter of fifty
feet with the other dimensions half
rs great would do as WE'LL All of this
! area must be kept we'll cultivated, or
mulch may be applied in the summer
to remain on over winter.
AS the trees get large they will
crowd each other and a part of them
must be removed
Sheds, stables and other buildings
not attractive may be partially hid
den by groups Of trees and the gen.
eral effect in six or eight years would
b so changed as to make the owner
doubt the identity of his own prem.
Uses. This cannot be brought about
without care and attention, especially
while the trees are small, but the re-
suits far outweigh all that, If one Is in
tsrested in relieving the monotony and
4reariness that SO often accompany
earm life.
