row a Crisp, Clear, Cold Winter Day Keens Everyone Up!
The Big Steamship, the
Northern Pacific,
With Two Thousand
)f our beloved soldier and sailor heroes, some of
them war-wounded and suffering, came up to Fire
Island, within a few hours of port and welcoming
Homes, and there sat down in the jauows oi low
tide, and with many perils landed her precious
(cargo by piecemeal.
It is easy to be a good navigator and skim across
the deen ocean, but to make a good landing is not
'always easy for a ship or anything as big as this
'.Store.
This Store is a big steamer. The war took from
tus three-fifths of our crew. We crossed the sea of a
ycar s work successtuliy, but when it came to inc
Export called "Christmas, our old crew had forsaken
us for war work, and we had to take on "greenhorns"
eand try to serve our people, but it was only a half
service, because it lacked the "Wanamaker" training,
f knowledge and experience.
This is to ask the public to overlook whatever
was lacking, and to assure it that we did the best
ywe could under the conscriptive circumstances.
We are now just at the beginning again of our
$ idea of proper storekeeping.
Little by little, almost all of our boys will come
back to us. We are not so certain of our girls. They
are mercurial. They all need the advice of a good man.
We did the best we could. We gave the people
our good goods at low prices from the first.
It was astonishing how they took them in such
nuantities. But they have learned through all these
f years that we may be depended upon to do justly.
Now that we are taking in some things at lower
prices! we shall sell whatsoever comes in at lower
&prices.
H We shall not deal in bankrupt nor old, left-over
SlUCiVS.
