The confidence we have in the instinctive good judgment of the people in understanding and in their comprehension of the Store's motives and methods from its first day has been the magnetic lodestone in spiriting us through all the years. We determined to conduct an all-searching and constant pursuit, the world around, to discover the origination and most-to-be-trusted master-makers of the various articles and fabrics wanted by the people, that wemight gather them here in Philadelphia and New York for their inspection; always hopeful and believing that the people would find out for themselves what we were doing and approve and- uphold our enterprise. ' Our faith has not been misplaced. The people have demonstrated that they may be trusted to appreciate honest endeavors to do right things. Signed Apnl -'3, 10J1.
