WHAT JOHN WANAMAKER SAID OF GOSSIP In addition to being one of the most successful merchants this coun try ever produced, John Wanamaker was a shrewd student df human na ture. He left behind him not only three large department stores, but also some very wise sayings, of which the following regarding gossips is one: "You will find it a good rule not to listen to anything a tattler brings you against your neighbors. Tale bearers have no rights and should have no standing. Some wise per sons say, 'We never repeat what we hear." But why listen to it? If scandals or jealousies had no ears to hear them, there would be fewer tongues doing the scandalizing, wasting their own time and yours and mine also."
