T. Stewart who in his lifetime was indisputably the first merchant of the City of New York cordially invites old New Yorkers, their children and grandchildren and the public generally to visit the fine old building that A. T. Stewart built Tenth and Broadway next to Grace Church During the summer months we have given continu- ous work to mechanics and others, day and night, to put everything within the spacious building in good order, rearranging the fine Fall stocks of new merchandise, conveniently and appropriately as nearly as possible as they were when A. T. Stewart left them. We believe Mr. Stewart would say, if he were to walk through the Store: “Well, you have re- stored this old store to what I intended it to be. “You have caught my idea in giving to New York what I planned.” Mr. Stewart’s old friend, General Phil Sheridan once said: Grand Staircase in the Stewart Rotunda “Do not stop at your second best, but always rise to the first best, in whatever you attempt to do.” The great city of New York is worthy of this revival of its first greatest store. To see what is right and not to do it is to lack courage. I am pleased and proud to do something worthy of the nation’s mightiest city and its old-time leading mer- chant.
