with a record Of $4,000 business. Mr..

i Aside from establishing his M
price policy and making a sh r
business day, MI. Wanamaker estab-
qished in the new store W systems,
one of sales and the other Of organi-
cation. He learned it was cheaper to
manufacture some classes of goods
than to buy from manufacturers and
he became one Of the first retailers to
do his. He found it difficult to get
employees who were properly instruct
ed in their duties and he organized
training schools where his workers
were taught the "Wanamaker SYSTEM"
Mr., wanamaker interested himself
Fin many civic activities. He was the
first salaried secretary in America of
the Young Mep's Christian association,
in 1856; one Of he founders of the

Of his department store, establishing
the house Of John Wanamaker & Co.

He wa known as q great believer In
advertising. In newspaper advertising

features Of his advertising campaign
was his development Of the store

torial over his own signature, invarl-
ably written by himself, to keep the

Harvest time appears to be arriv-
ing in Wall Street" says the New York
Journal, and stockholders are gather
ing around to rake in the latest crop
of stock dividends for the standard
oil of New Jersey. During the last
year the fortune of John D. Rock
efeller has increased to the tune OF
$52,OOO,OOO from his holdings in the
New Jersey corporation alone.
The National Biscuit Company has
granted stock dividend of IS per-
cent.
Stockholders of the American Radi-
ator Company will receive a 50 per-
cent stock dividend on December IS.
Says the New York Journal: ''The me-
lon-cutting habit is growing. 1t is a
poor strip of take that rolls out of the
tickers in Wall. Street without carrying
the news that another company has
decided or is about to decide to pass
around good, healthy stock divi-
dend."
Such choice bits of news as the
above are never displayed prominently
in newspapers. They are, if printed at
all. placed in the back pages without
display.
When workers are asking for lit
tie more of the wealth they produce.
use columns of space on
the front pages to tell the world that
it is impossible. Every industrial cor
poration is losing money until melon

workers are cut down to minimum of
subsistence.

anyone, but must and will be consid-
cred in an economic arrangement in
which the free will of each individual
co-operator is duly respected. Those
SO inclined may forego the right to the
full product of thei rIabor as we are
doing in Llano Colony, in favor of the
children and the less able; but if time
put in were to be the only factor to
be considered, some would do only
enough work to get by with. This is
not theory, but fact. Modern tools
and machinery and methods of trans
portation, etc. make cooperation i'm
perative, and make it also necessary
that worker performs his full share
of whatever work has been done or
to receive In proportion to what he ac-
complishes. Let us not go off on tam
gent sophistries, but recognize the mo-
dus operandi of natural laws and con-
form to them.
A man working individually on his
own hook by himself will be paid by
nature in accordance with the intelli-
gence, skill, general efficiency, and
duration of his work; not the duration
alone, but all four elements, are nee
essary and decisive factors in the re-
suit achieved and must be considered
in bestowing the fruits Of toll.
