Foanded ty Aaron Arnold in 1827. Now on Fifth Avenue at goth Street THE EVENING WORLD, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 22, 1922. FIFTH AVENUE AT FORTIETH STREET ——— — Ssinold, Constable & Co. cAnnouncement of a ‘Reorganization to Broaden the Service of the Store Wwe Aaron Arnold on a sunny April morn- ing, ninety-five years ago, stood on the side-walk at Canal and Orchard streets, and looked at his new store, his first store, on the front of which was painted— “THE NEW PALACE OF TRADE” his thoughts must have been similar to the thoughts ot the new executives in charge of of the great business founded by him and his son-in-law, James M. Constable. May our works be relatively as great! x x x QUALITY was the corner-stone of the Arnold Constable business. And it received, from the beginning, - the favor and patronage of the quality of old New York. It was welcomed as a part of the social organization of the day. And it has remained so, through all the changes of ninety-five years. The old store at Canal and Orchard, was on the fringe of the better residential section of the New York of 1827. Brooks Bros. and Lord & Taylor were further down- town, on Catharine St., near the river. Tne ise Shop in anal Constable grew with it. First to Canal and Mercer. Then to Broadway and Nineteenth St., where in 1877, the: celebrated their business jubilee. And finally, in 1915, to Fifth Avenue at 40th Street, formerly the site of the F, W. Vanderbilt home. Here they saw a great light. A constant stream of good people, seeking good service, passing the doors. And the house which had won and held its pre-eminence against the competition of A, T. Stewart and all other businesses of the nineteenth century, began to realize that now conservatism was limiting its sphere of service. This was a new century. New York, a greater, more cosmopolitan city. Old social lines had disappeared in the broadening work and growth and outlook of the years. That which had been their pride in the past was a bar to their progress in the present. They saw that service to old friends could be better rendered by linking it up with a larger service to the new. And the soul of this great business came to realize the truth, that— To broaden the service to the public meansé better service to the individual Hence the reorganization, * x = Mr. Stephen J. Leonard approached the work of reor- ganization with the determination to preserve the best traditions of the business. He sought advice from the been trained in Wanamaker's and one man who had been trained in A/tmans. These four men, with Mr. Leonard, and two others who have been associated with the Arnold Constable business for many years, are the new Arnold Constable. Their individualities will be merged in the greater in- dividuality of the business as a whole. Their sole objective will be to apply more widely the good service of this old New York house. The corner-stone remains—QUALITY, And broadened service means greater VALUES, x x & The last three weeks have been devoted to an exami- nation of stocks. Sone house-cleaning must be done. It will be begun tomorrow, Thursday. Prices have been materially reduced. And some very advantageous offers from the wholesale field have been accepted.
