the reconstruction period. H did not
hesitate to slash prices and write OF
resulting losses to stimulate business.
His example was widely followed.
Lost Wife in 1920 IT,,
On August 20, 1920, Mr.. .Wana.
makers wife died In u hotel at Atlantic
City, where she had been ill since the
previous spring. MIR: Wannmaker and
at her bedside when the end came. She
was woman of retiring disposition,
and although her acts Of benevolence
were many, they seldom becamt known
generally.
AS the founder of Bethany Sunday
School and its superintendent up to
his death he exercised wide influence
for good. He became one of the lead
ing figures In Sunday school work in
the United States. A striking example
of his influence and inspiration was
given in October, 1920. when he was
elected president, Of the World Sunday
School Association.
Mr.. Wanamaker's interest in educa-
ton revealed itself in many ways, not
only by institutions which he founded,
but in his attitude toward the general
policy of public .educa ton. He be-
came a member Of the Board of Edu'
cation March IL. 1913, and was chair
man Of the Boards Finance COMMITTEES
until January II, 1920, when he re-
signed from the committee.
A record of Mr.. Wanamaker's busy
life would be incomplete without some
mention Of the innovations he made
that infused O new spirit in sto:ekeep-
ing. One of them was the creation OF
the John Wannmaker Commercial In
stitute to add to the educational equip
ment of his employees.
Helped Young Employees
lie organized cadet corps for both the
young men and girls in his big estab-
lishments, and provided camps for
them. This training Of citizen soldiers
was thought out in advance Of the pre-
paredness wave which drew thousands
of Americans into camps OF the Platts-
burg type.

The Mems Friendly Inn, Ninth street

tions Mr.. Wanamaker organized. He
helped to found the Presbyterian Hos
pital and he was manager of the
University Hospital for years.
In 1916 Mr.. Wanamaker financed
an expedition to Alaska. which was
conducted by the University of Penn
sylvania Museum. The expedition
CLEANED a rich harvest Of facts about
the great Territory in the extreme
Northwest.
Mr.. Wanamaker Is credited with
being one of the sponsors, if not the
original sponsor, of the Sesqui- Cen.
tennial. He was made honorary chair
man of the Sesqui- Centennial Board OF
Directors.

When the war clouds burst over Eu =

widespread grief and Indignation over
the violation of Belgium. Again he
showed himself the man Of action. He
set to work raising funds for the relief
Of the harassed subjects Of King AL.

On November L.. 1914. almost four
years to the day before the dreams OF
German Imperialism finally vanished,
Mr.. Waramaker cast OF the bawser OF
the steamship Tbelma. which sailed
from Dock street laden with foodstuffs
and other supplies for the Bclgians.
In July, 1915, Mr.. Wanamakcr pro.
posed before the Philadelphia branch Of
the National Security League that the

man conquerors with The purpose ot
restoring the country TO its people.
The proposal aroused q storm Of dis
cussiop In the United states and Eu
rope. 1t was a staggering plan which
Mr.. Wanamaker conceived as q method
Of stopping the flow OF blood which was
draining Europe white. His plan was
TO furnish tndemnities which later could
be paid back to America.
Not Impressed by Ford's Ship
Mr.. Wanamaker was not at all i'm =
pressed by Henry Fords famous peace
cruise" which the Detroit manufacturer
hoped would muzzlc the dogs of war and
chain them 'up securely in n deep sub
cellar.
"Mr. Tord.' he said in December.
1915, "has three things: d mission, a
generous heart and a fat pocketbook,
but he has no plan TO stop .he war"
After the League Of Nations plan
had been evolved from the Peace Con
ference Mr.. Wansmaker expressed pp J..
position to it. He said It would he
better TO wait five years for prosperity
than to adopt the doctrine of the
League Of Nations as it then stood.
During the terrific slump that fol-
lowed the peace Mr.. Wanamaker never

In September, 1906. Mr.. wanamsker
purchased the immense business of Hill

Fourth avenue. Ninth and Teuthl streets.
New York. The price paid was csu.
mated to be over $2.O00.OOO.
Albert M. Hilton, in sn effort 10

done so much for Mr.. Wunamakcr, and
engaged Mr.. Gillian. his advertisement

Mr.. Gillian was made general manager
OF the firm.
The failure came OH August q. 1896.

In June. 1898, Mr.. Wanamakcr con-
sented to have his name placed before
the Republican State Convention MS a
candidate for the gubernatorial NOM
ination. On the eve Of the naming of the
ticket Mr.. Wanamaker withdrew his
name. The late William a. Stone was
given the nomination and was elected
the following November.
Took Interest in Transit
In 1901 when street railway affairs
we're in n turmoil here and there were
cries raised against what was called
