raattamaSrr's. FsnkkpaiTOlk. Braakhar M. OK It's over. Tbe year of trade is over. \TTie merry whirl at Christmas^ends the long-drawn work and worry of tedious '84. The year has been pecuThere's instruction to be got from its flight. Let's look for iu To begin with, there was sign of extraordinary depression a year ago ; but the pace of general trade visibly slow. Anticipatsome decline in prices we sold enormously in January at whatever things would l bring, some without profit, some at a rate little short of the comical. Having sold we bought as freely, and gained a season. ; We sold what belonged to the - hurrying winter, and bought what belonged to the coming spring. Tlie hardness of . selling made buying easy; and again we sold in a way keep trade moving. Summer found us with trade en- ; larged though profits di- | minished. Again we had our choice, J go 00 or slacken pace. The times were still more t criticaL Merchants were I failing; goods were falling: buyers of all sorts tak ing alarm, -economizing, buy ing less, though at advantageous prices. Again we overran Europe. But tlie sword of Damocles was hanging over us. We bought with caution and made your money go as far as we could. =» Your money we say advisedly. Your money at last has paid the bills. We need not go over the tale of the last half year. In the midst of your Christmas revel you scarcely care to stop to weigh our share in bringing about the present abundance. But wnat we have done is so apart from - the usual course of business that we are disposed to think I over; and, because our future concerns you about as much as ourselves, and because we look to you for it, we are doing a part of j our thinking aloud. 'Ibe year that is past has been a year of hardship in \ general ; but for us, on the ! whole, a year of success, j Septcnlber was the first month in which our sales ever fell short of die sales of the previous year. October and November were losing months. December is evidently going to turn out a gain. And, so little the autumn losses were, the year on the whole is a gain. Every one of you almost says to himself "I have spent less money this year; now can Wanamaker have possibly sold more goods than ever before?" Ibe question is worth our answer; and our answer shall be worth your hearing. ' More people have come. Tlie fall in goods and the fall in buying are more than made good by the number of buyers. Ibe number cf buyers, of course^ deperv's on what we give for a aollar. We have given more than ever; and so more buyers have come. Besides, tlie natural result of our liberal policy is to increase the area of trade. Why shouldn't our trade increase, even though money go up and goods go down ? What next ? Just now a little rest We need it Our faithful people need it The time invites to rest But shortly a new year begins. We've got to consider how to begin it That is what we are thinking . about Are die times any easier ? Is money easier taget ? Are there people still within trading! distance to win? Is there a better way to win than by money, when money is dear ? We do not know how prices are going to rule, nor now the times are going to -be. We think bottom is readied in everything, except now and then a minor tumble. Probably times will I slowly mend. No general j cha nge for the better will suddenly come; for caution always lasts beyond the special occasion for it. Let us count, then, on money hard tpget. and prices mo low (0? profit ; on your present wants ; on winter 'majiy come to enforce a Fr*eseOt supply ; on spring Snd summer to follow with wants of their own. We

may count on merchants tacit)' and country hanging on to their profits "and goods. We may count on your finding out for ^yourselves from day to day where your advantage lies. So all we have to do is to make your advantage steadily here, steadily here, week in and week out, make your advantage steadily here; and we shall add to the trade we have toon. Our tactics then, till trade is brighter, are to keep on just as we are. We are gathering trade for the future. We are keeping old good will and gaining new. We are changing our stock with every passing season. We are ready with latest goods for tlie better time a-coming, as ready as if we were making money ; our facilities are all in use and therefore-ready lor use; and best of all, our habit of large success has all the tenacity and force that continuous, long indulgence gives. ft^e are going to keep cm i getting together the best in the world, selling for less than market rates whatever we can, I and telling the news as the things are ready and the time is ripe.
