We Aim at the Utmost Limit
of Human Perfection
that can be attained in human affairs by unceasing
attention to the idea underpinning this Store,
knowing that perfection is not absolutely possible
in all particulars in everything. i
Attempting something impossible was what
nine-tenths of the people of Philadelphia said and
thought about this new Store when it was new and
its plans untried and not formulated.
We Resolved, Howeyer, to Try
Had we not made the attempt we would not have
accomplished what is here. Though in all these
years we have been between the hammer and anvil
in forging out and shaping and reshaping what t
existed only in the mind as an outline and is now
shaped to be seen with the naked eye.
We now realize that the best workman is made
best by working and we believe that practice makes
if not perfect something closely approaching ,
perfection, and for the latter we shall always
struggle.
We greatly hope that what we have clone
through this Store and what we still hope to do will
be an honor to our great city.
