NOW FOR THE FUTURE

With such a consolidation of good will
honest business methods, and already
enormous trade there is no telling what its
magnitude will be in years to come. 1t
has within it all the elements which make
for success. 1t is safe to assert that from
the very outset the public will find that the
buying opportunities offered by the con-
solidated establishments will exceed any
thing it heretofore has enjoyed through
patronage of the houses of Miller and
Meharg when run separately. That is
saying much, for it is recognized that up
to the present time both houses have pur-
sued public-be-pleased policy that has
made for them thousands of friends, not
only in the city of Wilmington and on the
Delmarvia Peninsula, but also in trade
zone that covers the territory within
radius of several hundred miles of this city.
The motto Of the new Joint establish
ment will be: "Upward and Onward to
meet its customers on the level and to part
with them on the square.
Newark post., 1915-04-28

vev of the field they decided that James
Meharg owned what they wanted at Ninth
and King streets "a " "
Overtures were made. They discoy
cred that Mr. -Meharg was in a receptive
mood, although reluctant to part with
control of business which represented
the very best work Of his busy life The
offer made to him by Miller Brothers was
so liberal in it's nature, however, thai he
could not disregard it and negotiations for
the transfer of the control soon were under
way, both as to general scope and detail.
The interests involved were so large and,
in some respects, so intricate, that It re-
qured several months to bring them to
the closing point. The last step was
taken today, and Immediately thereafter
the news of the consolidation was made
public "A " Y
No doubt the thousands of friends of
Mr.. Meharg will be well pleased to learn
that he is not to retire but that he is to be
actively associated with Miller Brothers in
the conservation and upbuilding of busi-
ness that stands as a monument to his
commercial genius. q MIR. Meharg, like
Miller Brothers, believes in the philosophy
that if a man would have friends he must
be friendly; and, like them, friendliness
and fair dealing have constituted the key
stone of the business arch which he has
reared "a " tS

street place. However, they decided to
back the judgement of their younger bro
ther and the move was made. Fortunate
ly for them, their credit was so good that
the wholesalers did not hesitate to let them
have all the stock they needed. In short
time everybody in Market street knew
that the Miller Brothers were on the lower
end of it and out to do big business.
The next thing the public heard was that
the new firm was not only holding its own
but actually had absorbed the businesses of
Samuel Slessinger at No. 200 Market street
and Nos. 700 French street and consoli-
dated them with the business at 2 3 Mar
ket street. Mr.. Slessinger, who was big
dealer at that time, took in part payment
an interest in Miller Brothers store and
retained that interest until May of last
year. Then his interest was completely ly
purchased by the Miller Brothers Com
pany. For eleven years the Miller boys
centered all their energy in the upbuilding
of the Market street store.
How we'll they succeeded is shown by
the fact that at the present time they have
twenty-five departments, eighteen in the
furniture end of the establishment and
four in the clothing end In addition, they
employ, in inside and outside capacities,
twenty-six men and women who are
classed among the best of Wilmington
statesmen and saleswomen. The Meharg
store has sixteen departments and twenty
two employees The two establishments
represent each year movement of stock
valued at approximately 100000, and all
this is the outgrowth of one button-hole
contract and two peddler baskets and the
opportunity that America offers to those
who earnestly desire to get along in life.
AN EXAMPLE OF CIVIC LOYALTY
The Mllers have proven themselves to
be not only good business men, but also
good citizens. No civic or charitable
movement OF importance ever is started
in this community that it does not receive
their hearty and liberal support. They are
Wilmingtonians of Wilmingtonians, Del
awareans of Delawareans, Delmarvians of
Delmarvians, and Americans of Amer-
cans. Having been born and spent their
early life beneath the depressing influence
of Russian despotism, they know how to
value American liberty and free oppor-
tunity; and with them liberty has never
meant license. They came to America
fully determined to accept its institutions
and its mode of living as their very own
Newark post., 1915-04-28

For the present at least, no announce
ment of the financial details of the deal
will be made. 1t is no secret, however,
that it runs into big money. Anyone who
knows anything at all about the nature
of the business that was built up by James
Meharg by years Of earnest effort must
appreciate that when he sold its control
to Miller Brothers he was parting with an
exceedingly valuable asset and one that
had become very dear to him.
All the changes contemplated will be
made as soon as the large household furni-
ture stock in the Market street store has
been disposed of. 1t already has been an
nounced that the present employees of
Miller Brothers and of James Meharg will
be retained and that there will be no in
furious departure from the policies which
have made both the Miller Brothers and
the Meharg establishments such wonder
full successes in the local field AS mat
ter OF fact, it is expected that blending
of the very best features of those two poll
cies will create policy that will be better
than either of them ever has been hereto
fore, no matter how good they may have
been "a T. ts
There were several reasons which i'm
PEELED Miller Brothers to buy controlling
interest in the Meharg establishment
The chief one was that they had outgrown
their present quarters at No. 2l3 Market
street. 1t was necessary for them to
branch out to find room. They realized
that their clothing business alone had
grown to such a size that the Market street
store would no more than suffice to &C
commodate it, to say nothing of their
household furnishing business, which, for
several years, had been cramped for room.
Confronted by that situation the ques-
ton which faced them was whether they
should leave Market street, which had
been the scene of their phenomenal busi-
ness success, and go elsewhere, or separate
their clothing business and their household
III lliioiiillS oaollloss anu lull Two Places
After canvassing the question fully they
decided that the thing to do was to convert
the Market street store into one Of the
largest clothing stores on the Delmarvia
Peninsula and to devote the other store to
the handling of furniture and other house
hold furniture "A ~
Having reached that decision, the next
question that confronted them, was where
their new store should be, and whether
they should establish an entirely new busi-
ness or buy business already firmly
established. After making careful sur

and to that fact they no doubt owe much
of the success that they have won in the
commercial field.
Their friends and neighbors have
watched their course with sympathetic in
terest and admiration Delawareans gen.
orally find pleasure in the fact that they
hold their own through all the vicissitudes
of commercial strife, but to reach out, as
a eliminating event in their career and
absorb such a well-known and popular
business as that which has been built up at
Ninth and King streets by James Meharg.
A MOMENTOUS CONSOLIDATION
After many months of negotiation,
Miller Brothers, one of the largest furni-
ture and clothing houses on Market street,
and James Meharg's big furniture and
carpet store in King street, were formally
consolidated today. q Under the terms
of this consolidation Miller Brothers pur-
chase not onl " the business but also the
real estate of ames Meharg, but Mr.
Neharg, who is recognized as one of Will
mington' S most popular business men, will
be positively associated with the Millers
in promoting the interests of the big con-
solidation "a y "
The Miller establishment is at No. 2l3
Market street. The Meharg establishment
is at the northeast corner of Ninth and
King streets. q Both houses will be
operated under one management from
this time forward, although there will be
certain read djustments to meet the views
of the new owners of the King street
establishment
1t is the plan of Miller Brothers to carry
in their Market street store one of the most
complete lines of mems, womens, and
children's S clothing ever placed before the
Wilmington public, and to concentrate at
Ninth and King streets their entire house
hold furnishing business as soon as the
present stock at No. q 3 Market street has
been disposed Of To accelerate the dis
posal of that stock, they already have plan
ned for great clearing sale, which will
be held shortly. 1t will constitute one of
the big features of the year in the local
commercial field u "A
The present Offices of Miller Brothers
will be transferred to the large establish
ment at Ninth and King streets, although
they will retain branch office in the Mar
ket street store, with every possible facl-
ity for expeditions communication be-
tween the two establishments.
