GREAT CHAIN STORE
Merger ANNOUNCED
Merrill. Lynch & Co. Acquire Jones
Bros. Properties for $4,000. 900.

The most important transaction In the
chain store field since the formation of
the r. w, Woolworth Co. was made
known yesterday In the announcement
of the purchase by Merrill, Lynch & Co.,
of the Jones Bros. Tea Co., Grand Union
Tea Co., the Globe Grocery Stores, the
Anchor Pottery Company and the Jones
Bros. Importing Co. II is understood
that the amount involved is $4,000, 900.
These companies will be merged into the
Jones Bros. Tea Company, which COM
pany alone has paid each year 6 per
cent on S10,oO0.00o common stock since 1910.
The Grand Union Tea Company and
the Jones Bros. Tea Co. were established
In 1877 and have a record of unbroken
prosperity extending over a period Of
forty-four years.
The chains acquired operate 256 stores
located In the principal cities of the
United States and occupy a unique posi-
ton In the chain store tea and coffee
business by manufacturing over 80 per
cent OF their own merchandise. They
have $500 direct agents and rank as the
largest distributors OF high-grade teas
and coffees in the United States. The
main factory. occupying the entire block
bounded by Pearl, Water Front and Jay
streets. Brooklyn, is ten stories high and
completely equipped with the most mod
ern types of automatic machinery.
Among the products of this factory
are soap baking powder. havoring ex-
tracts, glycerine, spices, etc. The COM
pany manufactures its own tin cans,
boxes. cartons and premiums, has a large
and modern printing plant and operates
its own pottery works.
Charles E. Merrill said: Merrill, Lynch
& Co. have purchased the Grand Union
Tea Company. The Jones Bros. Co. and
allied companies. We feel that the man
agement and organization OF these con-
Germs is second to none in the chain
store field and that the business of these
companies is only in its infancy.
Harry Jones, who has been the active
head for fifteen years past, will continue
as President He has retained his pres
ent holdings and has already purchased
q large block OF stock acquired by US. A
considerable amount of stock will be set
aside for the executive heads of the con-
stituent companies, store managers and
agents. The balance of the stock will be
offered privately.
Application will be made to list the
stock on the New York Stock Exchange"

New York, Dec. SIT was day OF spe-
cialty movements and war excitement
In Wall Street. Most Of the standard
stocks were not lower at the close OF the
day, but some new high records were
made. Chief among the record-break'
ers was Atlantic Gulf and West Indies
which sold up more than IL points. In
It's advance II dragged International Mer-
camille Marine and Pacific Mail to high

3ected to heavy profiting that left nearly
all of them net lower. Some of the cop
per stocks were also heavy because Of a
DISAGREEMENT in connection with the new
copper merger.
During the day the sinking OF ships In
the war zone caused alternate breaks and
recoveries as did the conflicting reports
regarding President Wilson's plans In
connection with the Marina incident.
Nothing definite of either bullish or bear
ish importance developed during the en-
tire day. The close was steady and the
street went home confident that the

Significant among the DAVIS develop

public took the Royal Dutch shares.
Buying of American and Baldwin Loco
motive shares was Of the best kind and
was based on large orders placed with
those companies. Charles M. Schwab
was a factor in these and other stocks.
A report that he was in the gallery Of
