It is the store easily and directly accessible to the greatest number of people in and about New York. Telephone 4700 Stuyvesant To See What Is RIGHT, And NOT To Do It, Is To Lack COURAGE | . New York City ‘‘from away back” has had many notable rerchants The list includes such men as H. B. Claflin, gen- ial, enthusiastic, popular; the Brooks. Brothers, Wittemore Peet Post & Co., James Talcott, Cor- nelius N. Bliss, Bliss Fabyan & Co.; Edward S. Jaf- fray & Co., Jonathan Ogden of Devlin & Co, the father of Robert C. Ogden, who was long associated with us; William E. Dodge and his sons; Arnold Constable & Co. and a host of others who were splendid examples for young men. Succeeding these old pioneers came later the able and wise Isidor Straus, and Nathan, his brother, whose sorts and kindred have made such a splendid store; the old Lord & Taylor concern before the time of the worthy Mr. Hatch, and that giant of them all, James McCreery; the Stern family, and the great mercantile genius, Benjamin Altman, whose insti- tution is his monument. Ky There are other late comers worthy also of note. The pity of it is that the merchants of New York do not seem ‘to realize the greatness of their city to any large extent beyond their own personal under- takings, so many of them being like the man in Washington whose family enjoyed the distinction of. being leaders in the little church they attended, where they opposed every effort for growth in /every direction, saying practically, “Me and my wife, my son John and his,wife; us four and no more. \ There can be no question as to who was the first merchant of New York. Every step of A. T. Stewart, from’ the time that he laid down his schoolmastership and located first at 241 Broad- way to try to realize what he could from the stock of linens, Hamburg edgings and handkerckiefs, and the like, left him by an old school-fellow of his from Ireland to whom Alexander had loaned all the money he had saved. Thus from a small beginning—the effort te turn the stock of merchandise into money to recover the loan that he had made for friendsnip sake. Tall oaks from little acoi.s,do surely grow— sometimes. The next thing Mr. Stewart did was the Cham- bers Street Store, to which was added the wholesale establishment, largely of importations from Ireland, and the next step in the years was to the far north | of New York City, almost out of town, when Mr. Stewart conceived the building next door to old Grace Church at Broadway and Tenth Street. Be it known too that at first Mr. Stewart did not succeed in getting all the block from Ninth to Tenth and from Broadway to Fourth Avenue. The big iron building uptown, as Tenth Street was then, had the best and longest period of each day of Mr.A. T. Stewart's time. People called it his “pet.” Mr. Savage of his wholesale store often said to the writer: “Mr. Stewart loves that retail store so much that he spends most of his time in it.” Surely, all the old New York families remember the time when the old A. T. Stewart iron store was the best store in New York City. It really was, be- cause it had Mr. Stewart’s personal vision, mind and heart and all the strength of his body six days in the week, when he was wisest and strongest. What is to hinder it from still being the best store? Please come as a visitor and be at home in the old Stewart Store. Take a good look on each of the floors and see if you can’t recognize something of A, T. Stewart's genius in it. Signed) yh feu Formerly A. T. Stewart. September 27, 1921.
