This fifty-eight-year-old business broom has been much used and well kept, and it is really in better order than when we used it first. Our broom sweeps from the corner of Thirteenth and Market Streets to the corner of Juniper and Chestnut Streets and from the corner of Juniper and Market Streets to the corner of Thirteenth and Chestnut Streets, over a block of three acres on the ground floor; and from the basement, which is under the DoAvn Stairs Store, entered from the underground railway, towers up fourteen stories to the roof. The measurement of floors and galleries shows we are occupying over forty-five acres, all in use for this one business. It is a lot of sweeping (a) To keep the house clean and safe. (b) To keep the assortments of merchandise full and good. (c) To clean up stock every week and thus avoid old stock. (d) To sweep the advertising clean from deceitfulness and clear of falsifications. (e) To keep the big place bright, attractive and interesting to sti'angers as well as to our steadfast patrons. To do our kind of sweeping, is a day and night operation for many faithfui workers.
