i good order within a specified [ time, and, like a bank check, - i draw the money back. The only general exception was for a short period preced- | ing and following the holii days. j In ten years we havc^aroed a good deal, and tbe crudcness of the new system of re- ; tail business is wearing away. - Studying to do better and | better by our customers and I : improving and improving all ! over the Store we have come to feel that we want the one J ( system of return of goods and J • return of money to prevail at ' all times of the year. .Therefore we now an- \ i nounce that (lie purchases { | for (lie holiday a xcill be Just as ' • returnable as at any other lime [ in the year, and that hereafter ■ from one year's end to another 1 ' there shall be but "one rule re- > yarding cxchdhgcs. > There is one Store in Phil- . i adelphia where buyers are absolutely safe at* all times and ; sure in their purchases all the ■ year round. ' These are the four founda- * tions of this business : i erything guaranteed. J J 2 — No more than proper val- i 1 ue for anything, but less * [ than the usual price for i many things. ; 3 — All the year round almost : t every tiling (not tooth | , brushes, mattresses and a ; few like things) subject to ' J return within ten days if in propct order for refund of ] I money. i < 4 — A vast and neatly perfect ] -stock of best makes of tner- i chandisc. j I To keep up the full opera- ' lo : "f our rules of exchange , i and refund of money during 1 * the:e extra days we shall emII ploy additional asslslc. " and ' open new desks.

, ' ' ' i — Quality and price1 of evp As all hours of the day seem , equally busy we cannot justly ask customers to come at any » j special times; but at all hours , | we will do-our utmost to faith- ; i fit Ily serve them. ' 1 1 We are next door to the . j suburban towns- by Broad Street Station, three minutes j distant. j. Store will be ready .for bus- ; ! iness-rather earlier than usual i for the next few days. We 1 shall close not earlier than " 6.30 P. M. until Friday even- • r ing. On Saturday and throughout next week we shall keep ; open in the evenings until ten [ o'clock to accomodate many , who are employed all day and who must make purchases at : night. 1 Seven nights of hours | each are not many in a whole year for oUc clerks to work, . especially when they take turns of relieving each other ! alternate nights so far as they choose, and we are, able to ; arrange for reliefs. The number ol employes . on the pay-roll this day (December 13, 1SS7) at this one Store is 4735. Philadelphia is the only city in the world that has such a place' as this, so far as we know. We began last January to get ready for this Christmas time. Clearing off a few tables here and a dozen feet or yhrds of Store counter there and getting a lot'of Holiday Goods consigned that are ''all that's left" of an importer's stock is not our idea of proper sendee for our trusting and expecting customers. It is a kind of high art to catch, by contact with the people, the needs of. the Christmas times and carry the Christjtias thoughts to the keen-witted souls who invent and contrive and conjure and create for our Holiday joy. Sonne ol our best men, from January to December, never take their thoughts from the Christmas preparing. There are fashions in Toilet Goods and T oys, Vienna wares and Cut Glass. Jewel and Glove Boxes. We are in the swim and swing of that fashion. Last year's fancy goods would no. more do for 11s this year than last year's bonnets or last year's cos- , tiunes. . Whatever is the best to be had is here, and whatever way gives best service to our customers shall be the practice here. -Vo in terruption of exchanges for holidays. Store ojten in evenings, commencing next Saturday. Tell it. John Wanamaker. Chsnnal, Tnlrtvsnia sn.l Marts: *iu*t», _
