A Special Statement
To Merchants, Manufacturers and Bankers
Who May Ask the Economic Reasons
for This Independent Trade
Movement

Volume is the keynote Of Amer
lean big business. The high stand
ard of living and the low prices
prevailing in the United States
prior to the war were made possi-
bic largely by volume-on the part
Of the producer of raw materials,
the manufacturer of the finished
product and the merchandise
tributor to the consumer.
Today production is not going at
full capacity, and the result is that
prices are high, with little real
prospect Of their coming down
until produc ion reaches a normal
volume.
High prices cause a curtailment
of consumption, which in turn
means that the manufacturer can
not produce his normal output with
the expectation of selling it at these
high prices. Thus the vicious cir
o. Gle is joined. In the effort to
make the first real break in this
oppressive circle the Wanamaker
Stores, with full knowledge of all
that it involves, have taken a step
unprecedented in the history of
merchandising.
Though today manufacturer,
merchant, banker, economist are
all frank in stating that their iudg-
mentS as to the future prices are
but guesses, the Wanamaker Stores
offer their entire stocks without
reservation of any kind at one-fifth
off. The result of this offering no
one can know, but we have faith in
American business, and We believe
that by making this experiment
something will be learned Of value
to the governmental, financial and
mercantile interests Of the country.
Very frankly, from our own view
point as merchants, we believe that
the increased volume which will
