Listen, citizens. 1t is sixty years. as you know,
of noble life that is about to address YOU
The multitude Gained instantly when the
face of the friend that never misled them
appeared.
They listened to his words of wisdom, and,
at his request, dispersed quietly that day when
the city was at the mercy of an inflamed
pOpulace
This great city of Philadelphia has more
than doubled in size and population since the
first announcement of this business was made,
and the man, almost 80 years old, whose card
has just come in, appears piloted by his two
daughters, who introduce him.
Listen to what this aged and honored
Philadelphian says, word for word, to the
writer:
"Do you remember me, sir? My store was
just opposite to yours in 1861, and saw you
taking down your shutters the first time.
Everybody said you were foolish to start
at such time, and prOphesied your failure.
You handed your neighbors the first card you
printed, saying you would not sell clothes with
cotton in the cloth. One of us said to you, DO
you really mean that? and your reply was,
You may bet your life on it. We certainly do
mean that And you fought it out until the
people knew and believed in you.
"Then you moved up to 18th Street, and we
were all watching you and doubling your
success when you began the New Kind of Store,
as you called it, which seemed so hazardous that
it puzzled everybody when you announced that
your business would be strictly governed by
certain principles.
"And, by George! Here you are yet, still
keeping the faith of what you told us in 1861
and what you told your customers for almost
sixty years. What next?"
Why, just this, we shall keep straight on.
The pendulum of the old clock will swing right
on through all weathers and all years, and we
shall make good every word we have spoken or
printed. -. -. r.
