That was about the time when St Paul, which had been bought heavily by Western brokers headed by John W Gates, began to sag from its high price near 19. This contingent expected that the gtock, which had been put on a 7 per ent. basis, would soar to 20 and held ft for the rise. But the bears soon got busy ani the price began to fall.

That’s because we are ever alert to her brightest turns—always ready to reap where she has sown. When worthy chances come, they find us prepared. Quantities can’t be too great for “the largest retail store in the world.” None but those who are accustomed to big figures can realize the enormous distributing capacity of our organization. A day’s sales frequently convert merchandise into money that other merchants, counted leaders in their way, would consider quick work if sold in a month. Such power demands and secures special privileges in respect to price- concessions. The trade power we exert is not the result of a personal quality. It is derived from the public—from your appreciation—from our co- operation. We never forget it. The public is our partner. erally. For example: A Manufacturer’s Entire Stock of Beautiful Gilt Furniture at Much Less Than Regular Prices.
