It is found in The Real Economy of Wanamaker Prices Years ago we found that we must have busier Januarys, or charge higher prices during the naturally busy months of the year. We proceeded to make January busy by diverting to to that month such large lots of merchandise as we could induce manufacturers to make for us during slack times of the year—at less than regular rates. The plan prospered, becausewe sold bright new goods at prices greatly below the usual. Of course, January sales are held everywhere now—there are factories that exist just to supply goody for them; as there are shops where antiquities of any required antiquity are made at a day's notice. Our January Sales Are of Broadened Scope The store is as odd as ever—it does not depend on the "things made to sell” and which are naturally not real becamse they are the regular products of somebody's regular business; but it plans ahead, and now the white month sees here sales of many sorts of goad Muslin Underwear Bedding Draperies and Laces : Housekeeping Linens Stati Sheets and Pillow Cases As we write, certain of our buyers are in Europe planning for goods to come here for next January.
