MWGYE—Second Floor, 36th Street Works of Art as they are sold at AMcys ©"The Battle of the Marne,” ‘one of the paintings from the brash of Jean Berne Bellecour, the cele- brated French artist, who is. at resent painting scenes of the European cataclysm for the French Government, was sold last week in Galleries. The customer aid us about five hundred dollars for the inting and remarked “You could not now buy this picture back for five thousand dollars.” GYet we were satisfied with the Lol we made on this merchan- ise. The meaning of the term “mer- chandise” has broadened with the development of the modern de- partment store. It is no longer confined within utilitarian barriers, Merchandise” today — means anything bought for the retail trace G Works of art, be they paint- ings, pieces of sculpture or Oriental Rugs, are merchandise, and in the stock of an up-to-date de- partment store like they are sold just as articles of utility are sold. {There are hd sentimental: fictitious or “gallery” values in works of art at heer. Intrin- ically they are measured by the same standards as sewing machines, stew pans and smoking jackets, The fat that the public knows thet sre selis oil paintings strictly as merchandise doubtless accounts for the extraordinary success of the recent sale of foreign and domestic canvases in this store G A number of paintings were priced from $500 to $1,000, and they were among the first to go. They are now in the private collections of men of means who have learned that works of art as merchandise may be bought at Memes at prices which represent their real worth.
