Little by little, with its framework enlarged more fully, wc, in 1875, opened up preparations for the Grand Depot When Fortune Favored the Brave In those days, there were no such large stores as there arc now. People were not known to visit and enjoy the sights of new goods as they do now. In old times, a manager stood inside of the store and directed all comers. When a looker said, "I will take that," the purchase was a scaled pact; and nothing was expected to come back, and when it did, it was for exchange and not for return of money. All this was changed by the New Grand Depot. People flocked to it and they have done so ever since. They were, and are still, always welcomed. Monthly accounts, bills rendered the end of the month, were encouraged as a convenience to the customer and a saving of time to the clerks. Hospitalities of public comfort were arranged id people came from the country to spend the day.

(Second Floor, Clientr) Men's Spring Suits Built on the Old Principle of Quality First The man who buys his new Spring suit from the viewpoint of an investor is the wise man. The one thing he does not overlook is quality, because he knows, as every wise man knows, that good quality is the first essential of a good investment in any kind of merchandise, from a shoe-lace to a piano. Now there is no secret as to the things that make for good quality in men's suits. They are the same today as they have always been. No man of intelligence needs to be told what they are, but every man needs to keep his eyes open so as not to take the semblance of quality for the reality. In the Wanamaker Men's Clothing Store he never can make that mistake, because the quality of Wanamaker Men's Clothing is real, all the way through. It is based on the reality of good woolen fabrics, expertly fashioned, tailored to stand the test of service and to hold their fine, fashionable lines.
