The Courage
John
Wananlaker
In '6l

In his letter to the Associated
Advertising Clubs of the World.
recently in session at Philadel-
phia, John Wanamaker stated
that the first days receipts,
when he opened his store 10
1861. amounted to $24.67. and
that he spent SIS out Of this
for newspaper advertising" His
whimsical manner Of stating the
case has attracted wide atten-
ton.
The important thing about the
incident is the light it throws
upon the courage and faith Of
this great merchant. In the
very beginning Of his career he
expended more for newspaper
advertising than the total re-
ceipts Of his store. OF course
this policy could not have been
followed for very long; AND IT
DID NOT NEED To BE FOL-
LOWED FOR VERY LONG.
Wanamaker stated in his let
ter that then, as now. tho adj
vertising appropriation for his
store was expended. practically
all Of It, for newspaper space.
He has had the courage,
through the years. to resist ap-
peals for constitutions, to be
made under the guise Of adj
vertising.
He has had the courage to
spend, when occasion demanded.
very much larger sums for adj
vertising than are generally
considered adequate by con-
sentative merchants. He has
not tied himself to q ratio Of two
per cent. Of his gross sales, or
three per cent. If business con-
ditions were tad, he never al
lowed panic to get into his
thoughts or policies.
The lesson for other mer- !
chants. afforded by John Wanna
makers successes, consists
chiefly in the spirit Of the man
in the courage and faith and
sound judgment he has always
shown. From the first he be-
lieved in the potency and power
Of the printed word: andyhe has
established the soundness of his
belief through his practice.

Col Roosevelt characterized Presi.

said tho former president.
Col. Roosevelt spoke at length on
tho Mexican situation. He criticised
President Wilson for refusing to recog.

Col. Roosevelt declared that fear and
