customers, 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
of book review.
A fixed price, exchange of goods or
refund of money, courtesy with no
obligation to buy, rigid investigation
OF manufacturers statements and alb
solutely no Misrepresentation of goods,
are ordinary business virtues expected
now in any first-class store-hecause
John Wanamaker fought and won a
battle for each principle involved.
Shorter business days, summer va
cations with full pay, Saturday half
holidays, sanitary conditions OF work,
an insurance association, pension roll,
and circulating library, are some of
the ideas first worked out by John
Wanamaker for the welfare . his
employees.
He taught the public how to buy
His show windows and counters, con-
tanning articles suitable for. every
purse and marked in plain figures
educated his customers to sense of
comparative values and showed them
how their money could be most wise
ly spent Within his great New York
store he bull House Palatial' for
the rich at a cost of over a quarter
of a million; and then created beside
it a series of moderate-cost model
apartments. showing in concrete form
how an entire home could be furnish
ed in perfect taste for few hundred
dollars.
The Golden Book of the John Wan
amaker Stores, although of special in
terest to merchants. manufacturers
and students of commerce, will be
found equally entertaing by the gen
erai public. The-story Of Wanamak-
er's cannot be written without the
inclusion of large part of the his
tory OF Philadelphia, which in this
book is tastefully illustrated with
sketches of many historic places.
MIR. Wanamakers fifty years of
business and his services as postmas-
ter general made him host of friends
in public life. many of whom have
shown in speeches and articles their
appreciation of his qualities of mind
and heart. 1t is especially fitting that
the photographs of some of these men,
with extracts from their expressions
of confidence and esteem, should be
included in the book of Mr.. Wanna
makers Golden Jubilee.
The volume is library size, hand
somely bound in cloth and gold, and
contains over 400 pages with numerous
illustrations. Price so cents, post
paid, from the Wanamaker Stores at
New York Or Philadelphia.

not in exact accordance with your own
ideas. This will be conducive to that
spirit OF concession and unity which
is necessary to progress.
g. Give sparingly, If at all, to move
ments for the general good of the

property owner in it. This will spur
on to greater exertions the public
spirited citizens your town now has

THINGS TO FORGET.

If YOU see tall fellow ahead of a
crowd,
A leader of men, marching fearless
and proud,
And you know of tale whose mere
telling aloud
Would cause his proud head to in
anguish he bowed,
It's pretty good plan to FORGET It.
II you know of a skeleton away
In closet, and guarded and kept from
the day,
In the dark: and whose showing,
whose sudden display
Would cause grief and sorrow and
lifelong dismay.
It's a pretty good plan to forget it.
If you know of a thing that will
darken the JOY
OF a man or woman, girl or boy,
That will wipe out smile or the least
way annoy
A fellow. or cause any gladness to
cloy,
It's a pretty good plan to forget 1t

JOHN WANAMAKER's GOLDEN

The name OF John Wanamaker is !
indicative CT big things, big ideas,
big enterprises. At the very begin
ming of his business career he show
ed the big qualities of mind and heart
which have made his business what
it is today.
The first day receipts of the little
store which he opened in Philadelphia
fifty years ago were s2467. He kept
the sixty-seven cents for making
change next day and Immediately
spent the s24 for newspaper advertis-
ing.
That investment took courage, a
bigger amount of courage than the
expenditure of ten thousand times
the amount would cost him now. 1t
meant, too, 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
volume called The Golden Book o. the
John Wanamaker Stores.
II is interesting reading. this Gold
en- Jubilee Book 1t is the story of a
1 pigmv which grew into a giant be-
4 cause it had a giants heart. Although
tale of peaceful commerce, it is a
1 record of exciting battles fought and
/ won for principle. 1t is the history
OF Great Revolution in Business
Methods; of interest to, and with an
influence on every person who either
buys or sells anything in the civilized
world today.
John Wanamaker was the abolition
list of principle of buying and sell
ing SO old that the ancient Romans
coined the phrase HCaveat Emptor"
Get the buyer bewarel to express it.
Until his little store in Philadelphia
advertised its new policy of square
deal to its customers, every mer-
chant looked upon a 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 begin
ming of his career he preached and
practiced the doctrine that a bargain
was not bargain unless both parties
TO it benefited BY the transaction
The present generation cannot an
preciate the disbelief, opposition and
ridicule with which the announcement
of this new policy was received. Sbop.
ping in any frst-class store. is now
so simple. easy ana safe for The mex.
perieneed 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
struggles against deep-seated business
traditions. and his victory over them
is only a small portion of the dram.
attic material with which the Golden
Book is filed.
: Throughout the whole OF the half
century since he started his little
store, John Wanamaker has bceathed
into its workings the spirit of orig
inality and progress. There was nc
Z 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

HOW TO BUILD UP ~ A TOWN

HOW TO BUILD UP ~ A TOWN.
s. A. Fishburn, secretary of the
Texas Associated Commercial Clubs,
has issued the following rules on how
90 to build up town. They are
worth reading and worthy OF careful
reflection.
l. Join no organization looking to
the upbuilding of your town This
will prove an encouragement to those
who give their time and money to
sustain such organizations.
.. Impugn the motives Of those who
join and charge them with a desire
to advertise themselves. This inspires
patriotic men to work all the harder
for the public good.
3. Pour cold water on every new
home enterprise, predict its early
failure, and contribute to that end
by patronizing its rivals in other
other towns. This will encourage
others to put their money in home en-
terprises.
4. When committee calls on you
for a contribution to any good cause,
act like a sore-headed bear and yield
up what you do give as begrudgingly
as possible. This lightens the burden
Of the committeeman and sends them
on their way rejoicing In their work
of love
). When strangers visit your town
let them wander arouns alone and
enlighten themselves by reading the
signs and pumping the professional
loafer They will carry away de-
lightful circumference of their visit
and advertise the town wherever they
go.
6. "Cuss out Your public officials
Ito their backs of course) and accuse
them of everything from petty lar.
ceny to high treason, no matter
whether YOU can substantiate your
charge or not This will prove a
keen incentive to the complete full
fillment of their official obligations.
Z. Whenever your town paper diff
fers in the slightest with your ideas
of public policy, declare that it has
been bought up and promptly cut of
your patronage. The editor will turn
the other cheek and redouble his eff
forts in behalf OF the town and It's
good people,"
8. Oppose any enterprise which il
