Our Book Trust fight—one of seven years’ duration— | comes to an end with these decisions of the Supreme Court of the land. Trust lost. The Court decided that we have a perfect right to SELL GOODS AS CHEAPLY AS WE CHOOSE—for which contention we have been suing. The Book Trust—the allied publishers of late copyright- ed fiction—forbade retailers selling such Books below a price agreed upon by members of this combine. That agreed-upon price was $1.08, and EVERY STORE BUT MACY’S HELD OUT FOR IT—AND STILL HOLDS OUT FOR IT. AGAINST THAT $1.08 OUR PRICE ALL ALONG HAS BEEN 98c. The Trust made an effort to compel us to charge for Books the same high prices that are charged by concerns that do business on a HIGH PROFIT BAS'S. The idea was to for- bid us to give the public THE BENEFITS OF OUR SUPERIOR FACILITIES FOR MERCHANDISING ON A CASH BASIS. We have been fighting for a principle—t right to seli goods as cheaply as we choose—and we have WON. This is the only store in existence, We believe, that has ever SUED FOR THE RIGHT TO SELL GOODS CHEAPLY. This is a STRICTLY CASH store—sells for cash on a slender margin ot profit, gives no discounts, pays no commis- sions—treats alike the million and the millionaire.

Maigit .$2.69 It was the Trust's last stand in the battle and the , of books, would have been enormous. The making of the book, as near as we can determine, costs about one- third the retail price that they were endeavoring to maintain. The sufferer from the fixing of the price of books would have been not only the reader but the author, for the author generally gets a fixed price per copy sold, regardless of the price at which that copy is sold, so that our fight should meet not only with the approbation of the paying public, but with that of the authors. The publishers’ combination or trust is composed of human beings of about the same quality that com- poses the other trusis. They are not altruists—they are out for themselves, first, last and all the time; and the next step, had they heen successful, would undoubtedly have been to put the retail price still higher and the author’s honorarium still lower. We do not pose as philanthropists; this principle { that we sought to maintain was a business principle. The foundation stone of this business was laid many years ago on the theory that a large quantity of merctendise ) handled at a small profit would in the long run bring bet- | ter results than a smaller quantity of eee handled ata larger profit: and the growth of this business, phe- nomenal as it is, reults from the appreciation on the part of the public that we do handle large quantities of merchan- dise at the smallest possible prices.
