JOHN 1TANAM4KEU.
Messrs. George P. Rowell A Co., advertising
agents, of New York, have published a, large and
beautiful octavo volume entitled "The Men Who
Advertise," from which we select the following
concerning one of' the most enterprising and
successful of Philadelphia merchants:
Though so well known and so extensively pa
tronized, John Wanamaker, one of the loading
clothiers of Philadelphia, Is yet a young man and
has a very Juvenllejappearance. This Immense busi
ness has been the work of the past ten years hard
work at times, but never carried on In any other
tban a go-ahead spirit, an unflAgglng energy, and an
Indomitable will. lie began his business career In
a rather small way, In company with Nathan Brown,
and the firm name, VVanamaker & Brown, has
become as familiar to the people all over the coun
try as Franklin's maxims or George Francis Train's
odd sayings. Like all other begluners who start in
a trade that Is as old as civilization and open to
every man, the new firm had to encounter the op
position of experienced clothiers, and of a host that
had but a short start or them yet this did not In
any manner dampen the ardor of John Wanamaker,
who Is the acknowledged head of the concern,
lie early saw that to sit down, tape
measure In hand, and wait for customers of an in
quiring mind to pick out his shop from the many by
which it was encompassed, merely by having two or
three well-dressed dummies at the door or a ha f
dozen coats and as many pairs of pants swinging
and fluttering in the breeze along the store front,
was not exactly the way to carry on business in
these latter days, and be resolved to make himself
and bis establishment known through the medium
of newspapers, as the very best way of securing pub
lic patronage, and in a comparatively short space of
time he had succeeded in turning the eyes and
feet of a large number of people towards his mart
of fashion. Few of our citizens have more than a
faint idea of the large amount of money expended
by some tradesmen in advertising their goods.
They see an advertisement in a newspaper which
they occasionally meet with, long or short, as the
case may be, and that is all. If they had the privi
lege of inspecting the dally exchanges of a first
class newspaper, through many of which the same
or similar business notices are to be found, they
might well wonder how such expenditures, distinct
from current, in-door ones, could be met. The
seeming doubt created would be resolved if Mr.
Wanamaker should open his books and show the
extent of his sales as the result of the outlay for
drawing custom. In every business m which the
profits are small or moderate, there must be large
sales to warrant such expenditures, and the sales
are not likely to be so without liberal advertising.
Suppose they can be increased from five thousand
to ten thousand dollars per week, at ten per cent,
proflt to the dealer above expenses, there would be
an addition of five huudred dollars every six
working days, and in the same ratio its in
crease can be continued by adding to the number
or customers. If ten per cent, additional will pay
the whole cost of carrying on the trade, the adver
tising may be profitably enlarged In the proportion
that the addition to the receipts Justifies it. From
this It may be seen at a glance exactly how the
ti adesman who has given the subject the thought it
deserves, can add to nis profits and astonish simple
minded people who plough in the same easy-going
way their fathers did before them, never going out
of the beaten track.
Much less than a huhdred years ago, In the days
of slow coaches and very slow peopie, when busi
ness men were content with few sales and small
profits, it made little diirereuce whether a
tradesman advertised his goods or not. But
the whole course of trade and
traffic has undergone as much change
as other things, and now it is Indispensable that he
thould ket p up with the progressive spirit of the
times, and he is certain to succeed best who in busi
ness tact, aud the liberal expenditure of money,
leads rather than follows in the race. It is doubtful
If any retail clothier in the United States scatters as
much money among newspaper people as John
Wanamaker. A new establishment recently opened
by him on Chesnut street, one of tbe most exten
sive on that fashionable thoioughraru, Is being
brought Into notice by the same means that the
Market street house was made known. It is adver
tised as containing clothing plain and nobby, cut
artistically, warranted t fit, and superior in all
respects, it has connecter! with it a juvenile de
partment as complete in all 1U arrangements as the
adult customer branch, and affords facilities for
dressing little people not orten mat with. Thus much
of John Wanamaker as a clothier. Outside of bis
business be U as active and energetic as he is in
it. When a mere boy he became a member of the
Young Men's Christian Association, and, being a
ready speaker and a pushing fellow, he soon made
his mark, and he is now one of the foremost of that
organization. Four or five years ago, in company
with others of his own spirit, he set about the col
lection of funds for tha building of a chapel and
Sunday-school, on a large scale, Jn a pari of the
city not well provided with either. It was a gigantic
undertaking, conceived in a spirit or Christian bene
volence, and requiring efforts of no ordinary kind to
carry it out. That the work was accomplished ac
cording to the design of the founders, and that it
tands as a monument of what may be done by well
directed ff iti, are facts beyond dispute.
1 be subject or our sketch is not one of those who
Would hide his light under a bushel or do a good act
Without caring to let it be known. His name is cut
In enduring granite on the front of one of the foun
tains which stand near Independense Hall, with
'presented by" as a prefix, while the lady who sub
scribed sufficient to erect the other had too much
modesty to let the wayfarer know, as he stops for a
cool draught of water, to whose liberality he is in
debted for it But the irrepressible John was only
following out a work he had begun some time be
fore. He had caused the universal "Wanamaker
& Brown" to be chiselled on the street crossings,
?aln ted on rocks, and mounted on house-tops. That
hey have not been wafted to the clouds, and tied to
the tail of a fiery comet, is only because Yankee in-
fenuity has not yet devised the ways and means,
o doubt the seeming impossibility would be at
tempted did not newspaper advertising fall in so
entirely with the views and feelings of the head of
the firm. -

Jo George W. Miller, Inmranee Superintendent of (he Stat
of If etc fork:
J. W. McOnlloh represents that he was appointed by
the Legislature of New York to examine the affairs of tbe
Mutual Life Insuraaoe Company of New York, and that
he has made many charges against the officers of that
company, all of which bare been sustained by you. Is tbis
true? Have tbe officers, or any of thorn, committed any
wrong or breach of trust ? What is the result of your ex
amination f A public meeting of policy-holders Is called
to meet here Thursday, whioh McOulloh proposes to ad
drees. In your opinion, after tbe investigation you have
made, is there anything in the oonduot of the officers of
the Company whioh should forfeit the confidence of the
policy-holders in them ? Answer by telegram, and also by
to-day's mail.
George C. Rkhabdson.
New York, May is, 180.
George C. hiehardeon, Esq., Btm, Mane,:
Your despatch received. J. W. McOulloh was not ap
pointed by the Legislature ef this State to examins the
affairs of tbe Mutual Life Insurance Company of New York,
lie was allowed by tbe Investigating Committee of the
Assembly to attend, and with my consent and tbe consent
of the company, be did attend and participate in an ex
amination which I have been making. All charges made
by Mr. McOulloh er others were fully investigated. The
examination has been thorough. The charges of breaoh
of tiust and mismanagement have not in my opinion been
established. Nothing has been shown whioh should for
feit or impair tbe confidence of the policy-holders or
publio in the company or its management. My examina
tion has satisfied me that the company has been managed
with peculiar ability and integrity, and that its condition
is eminently sound. I shall publish an official report soon.
Geo- W. Miller,
Superintendent of the Insuranoe Department of the State
of New York.
The Buddbn Ouasoes of Temperature, together
with the searching winds which are now so oommon, are
causing severe Colds to-prevail everywhere, and laying the
foundations for many cases of Inflammation of the Langs,
Pleurisy, Asthma, and other Lung Disorders, Prudent
people should now take especial precautions to avoid
unnecessary expoaure, and if unfortunate enough to con
tract Colds, would do well to resort at once to Dr. Jayne's
Expectorant, a safe and reliable remedy, which will not
only promptly cure Coughs and Colds, but will relieve
and strengthen the Pulmonary and Bronchial organs, and
remove all dangorous symptoms. Sold everywhere.
