A railroad cannot afford palatial trains unless it has a vast other busi-.
nesb in freight and modest trains. The dollar excursion trains for Atlantic-
City helped everybody. By the same token, thc'Gimbcl Store sells fine goods''
better and modest goods better because it sells both kinds. The larger bitsi-
ness reduces costs and prices.

Would you, as an art collector, with no care for costs,
choose a Corot or a Rubens or the pot-boiler picture of a
Latin Quarter student?
Almost as wide gulf between the art the design
ing of a Kuppenheimer or Society Brand Suit and one
from the average tailor, and this wonderful designing is
yours to enjoy at trifling expense because these two houses
have builded businesses totaling some twenty million dol
lars a year and either house can better afford to pay a
designer fifteen or eighteen thousand dollars a year than
a small business could afford to pay twelve hundred.
These big businesses do two things inspire genius
and give genius ks dues.
