JOHN WANAMAKER
World Famous Merchant and
Former Postmaster Gener
al Passes Away at His
Philadelphia Home.

Country Estate Survived

Philadelphia. Dec, 14 John Wana
maker died nt his home here at K n. in.
The world fmnoiu merchant quel
former postmaster general passed away
at IiIk home on Walnut Street. He
had been -II lined there state early in
November with heavy cold, contracted
at hts country Kioto near here. He
was 84 veins old.
Mr. Wanamaker is survived b.vhls
son. Rodman, a resident of New York,
and two daughters, both of Philadel
phia
Jnbn Niinainakor led In the crea-n
tlon of the department store as an in-
slitulion in American life. At the out
break of the Civil War In 18(11 when
he began business for himself in ..a
humble way In Philadelphia, retail
merchandising in this country was in
a disorganized state, and, la the opin
ion of the far-sighted young merchant,
it was suffering a rapid decline
through practices that were then gen
eral. Aside from his ambition to make
money, "my paramount purpose," raid
Mr. Waua maker, "was to help save
the mercantile profession from lower
ing its Hug before other professions
ami occupations." There were iu those
days no tixrtl selling price for goods.
Business then demanded a thirteen
hour day from its employes. Custom
ers hours price-haggling with salesmen.
Mr. Wanamnkcr was impressed with
ibis 'iste of time and to eliminate It
he became a pioneer In fixing a .sell
ing price for gooXs. It was one of
the. beginnings of many mercantile re
forms which, today arc so generally
followed that the present generatlob
tun scarcely nnd anywhere a trace of
the old practices.
Mr. Wanumaker intere
the Voting Men's Christian Association,
in 1SB8; one of the founders of the
Christian Commission during the Civ
il War, and one of the organizers of
the Centennial Exposition in lK7(i. In
the latter year he began the develop
ment of his department store, estali
lishing the house of John Wanamaker
& Company on (Tiestnut St., Philadel
phia, and twenty years later estab
lished a similar business in. New York
.as successor of A. T. Stewart. It is
estimated that during his entire busi
ness reer Sir. Wanamaker lmd dis
tributed into American homes merch
andise reaching nearly a billion dol
lars in value.
He was known as a great believer
in advertising, in newspaiier advertis
ing above all other varieties. He spent
millions of dollars in it. One of the
features of his advertising campaign
was his development of the "Store
News Page" which he led with an edi
torial over hiB own signature, invar
iably written by himself, to keep the
public in touch with the policies of his
business. His friends often saw him
writing such an edit orial on bis way to
the store in the morning, scribbling, it
on the Iwck of an envelope or any odd
Bcrnp of paper he hod In his pocket.
One of the greatest tributes ever
paid to an American merchant was
that given to Mr. Wanamaker in the
fall of 1911 on the fiftieth anniversary
of his business career. Thirteen thou
sand of his employes from both the
New Vork and Philadelphia stor
greeted him in his Philadelphia store
and presented him with the house, in
which he was born, and a jubilee book
in which each of the thirteen thousand
had written their names. A similar
tribute was paid at that time In New
York where a committee representing
the merchants' of the t'nited states, in
eluding bill of his business associates
nnd competitors, met to do him honor
at a luncheon. He was presented with
n handsome silver loving crip and heard
his rivals land him as a 'merchant
prince of the country,
In political life Mr. Wanamaker was
prominent as an independent republi
can. Upon the election of President
Harrison, Mr. Wanamaker was invit
ed to enter the cabinet, and although
there was much criticism to the eJTect
that a merchant was unfit for a cabl
net position, Mr. Wanamaker became
Postmaster General and, was aeknowl
edged later by his critics to have work
ed many desirable reforms in the post
al system.
The religions side of Mr. Wnnaiuak-
er's life was one less known to the
general public than any other, but
one in which be was deeply Interest
ed. Very early in life he became a
member of the Rev. John Chambers's
Presbyterian. Chnreh In Philadelphia,
nnd It is related that when Dr. Cham
tiers appealed to his congregation for
a church suitable to its needs. Mr.
Wanamaker, then a hoyi shouted en
thusiastically : "I'll give a load of
bricks from my father's brickyard.'.'
Later be gathered together a handful
of bovs In a shoemaker s shop -ami
formed Sunday school, which was
the nucleus of what is today the Beth-
any Presbyterian Church of Phlladel -
