MERCHANTS VERSUS STOREKEEPERS.
The Woolworth chain Of stores consists of 805
stores in hundreds of cities in the United States The
growth in the past three years is shown by the fact
that in that time the number Of stores has grown from
500 to 805. But the sales have increased in even
greater ratio until the present high water mark of
$75,995774 reached last year. The net profits
on this were S7,548,209.
