WANAMAKER'S WEATHER Unsettled Store Opens at 9 WANAMAKER'S Store Closes at 5 'WANAMAKER'S A Good Beginning lor the Coming Week at Wanamaker's It Is Very Common to Hear Men Finding Fault with their business occupations, and families there arc in every city whose men, having retired from trade and mechanical vocations, speak despisingly of honest business now conducted by the younger men growing up to take the places of .their fathers. From the beginning we have always been proud of our business and have endeavored to put our strength body and soul in all we undertake to do. It has always seemed to be a rule for one merchant to try to run down the goods of and undersell the other, but our idea and undertaking has always been not to undervalue what others did, and not so much to undersell, as to excel in every particular in qualities and worthiness as far as possible. Setters of type and printers for more than a hundred years have proudly referred to the stamp Benjamin Franklin left upon his life calling. Read the inscription he caused to be put on his tomb at Fifth and Arch Streets: "Benjamin Franklin, Printer." It depends upon the man to make his business honorable. It does not often come ready-made. Signed June 11, 1031.
