bo I they'll make It all upon their ready -mart clota

theosandt of oar i ttisens who h ive tried all our I !
lag clothing houses caa testify, they tell at prl.:t
wllhwhloh none caa oimpete whea the qutllly o f
goods and the general make-sp It considered; and
people say, "Oti.yfs. that's all very well; but they
will make It up la the Custom Department." Iu Hie
Custom Department It Is proverbial ther give m
chant tailors' work at ready-mads olotblug pries ;
and It Is said that what ihey deduot here thoy add
somewhere else but where they add it noouecan
really tell-lor every twenty casta you meet with
Of persons making good bargains, you do not And
one who has. or even professes to believe, he hai
been ohargrd anything above a rery medsra:e aud
fair paten.
Now me great thing to be marked In all this h te
fast, ad a I ued by all, of low prln . And the renl ex
planation Is simple enough. An; ra in can understand
It, and, If he Is booest, need uot rummage his brain
to find out "how thsy do manage to sell so phenp at
Oak UalL." Here It It as plain as the noes on yi.ir
face. Bay one home sells t 12 i0 a day (more than
which amount has been sold In a day at iMk Hall li
but ordinary times), and males a prottt of ten per
cent , or tllCOO, and soother nouns sells but tj'iooy a
day, and makes a roflt of 15 per cent., or IMO. Tti'i
house doing the largest bu.luess makes the largost
amount of money, you see, but at the same time
charges Its customers only a proll'. of lo pcrcsnt.,
whits the house doing the smaller trade hastocbarge
a larger profit. If per cent., yet does not make sj
mnoh money. If now yon oect oa the ground ol iti
costing so maoh to run such an establishment. It Is
enough to assert, what Is easily emngh proved, that
the machinery a- d the running of such an lmoatjute
concern at Oak Hall dots nt cost, In proportion to
the amount of trade done, half so mucn as does a
smaller house dolug bat hair the trsde !bat li, if a
small establishment has to adds per cent, on 0101
garrn'oifor "store expenses "a larger one can mate
as great a profit by adding but three per oeul,, Ihui
saving two per cent, to th customer.
This, then, to Bay nothing of the advantages wliloh
must accrue to a house boylng so largely, Is the ex
planailon of the whole roat.er. Wanamaker &
Brown started ont with the Ida ol aVipufarCluthiDg
House, and It Is admitted that they have so far
realised tbelr Idea that they are sometimei evsn
falsely called a monopoly. b3cauie they cnmuiand leu
an unrivalled amount ol builoest Tbat't tbelr secret
It's out now, and all may take the benefit of it. Tiiey
will do business on tbM same principle to the end, or
tintii tbey have very diOVreul experiences from any
that have come to tbem to far la tbelr bjnueji
career. So that every nw customer who come t
Oak Hall doea something towards the ''low prteeV
which the people are marvelling about. And here's
a nice little problem, wblcn we wonld like to tee the
people try to solve prac loally. What Is the very

of Ktw Tbik, who sustains It In bis Report for isain the following language, towll:-
"It does not always follow, as Is sometimes snppoied. that a surely Mutual Company la the
most profitable one to tbe insured. Mixed Companies, or those substantially Mutual, may, by
superior skill and other advantages, actually muke tbe largest dlvlduuds of surplus pr tuts to
policy-holders. "Page XV, New York Insurance Keport for IbtiS.
In the BKO OKLYN LIFE no Policy-holder can ever be atscstcd for any loss or doQoloucy; In
Mutuala Ibe Policy-holders alone are responsible.
Tbe success which the BROOKLYN has achieved, fully exemplified In Its rapid and healthful growth, to
a convincing prtot of tht confidence reposeu by tbe public In Its soundness, Integrity, anl liberality.
