A Special Statement
To Merchants, Manufacturers and
Bankers who may ask the economic
reasons for this independent
' trade movement
Volume i the keynote of American big business.
The high standard of living and the low prices pre
vailing in the United States prior to the war were
made possible by large volums on the part of the
producer of raw materials, the manufacturer of the
finished product and the merchant-distributor to
the consumer.
Today production is not going at full capacity,
and the result is that prices are high, with little real
prclpect of their coming down until production
reches a normal volume.
High prices cause a curtailment of consumption,
which in turn means that the manufacturer cannot
produce his normal output with the expectation of
selling it at these high prices. Thus the vicious
circle is joined. In the effort to make the first real
break in its oppressive circle the Wanamaker Stores,
with full knowledge of all that it involves, have
taken step unprecedented in the history of mer
chandising.' Though today manufacturer merchant, banker,
eco nomist are all frank in stating that their Judg
ments as to the future prices are but guesses, the
Wanamaker Stores offer their entire stocks at one-l
. fifth off. The result of this offering no one can
know, but we have faith in American business, and
we believe that by making this experiment some
thing will be learned of value to the governmental,
financial and mercantile interests of the country.
Very frankly, from our own view-point as merchants,
we believe that the increased volume which will
come as the result of this lowering of prices will
enable us to justify the losses taken on our stocks.
We believe this is the proper time to
begin to reconstruct business on a
peace-time basis.
Already some mills are not running at capacity
because the public cannot use the total production at
the high prices prevailing. This condition. will un
doubtedly correct itself over a period of time, fol
lowing economic laws. If, however, the adjustment
can be made quickly, it will be so much better for the
consumer, who needs the merchandise, and for
labor, which needs the work. ,
Such a movement as is inaugurated by the 20
per cent- deduction sale at Wanamaker s cannot help
but stabilise prices. Firtt of all, it will indicate at
what prices the consuming public can absorb the
great volume of production. Second, if there are
any stocks of hoarded goods held by profiteers for a
rising market, they will undoubtedly be brought into
the open. Third, some sort of a staple market price
will be established for merchandise of various char
acters, thus enabling financial interests to make
their loans on some real basis of value. Fourth, the
economic law of competition will force into line
those retailers, few though they undoubtedly are,
who hate taken advantage of the unstable condition
to obtain for themselves unfair profits, thus releasing
Governmental investigations and activities to more
normal fields.

Burlington Arcade floor, New Building.
THIS is the wedge a sharp wedge that we are driving into
the high cost of living with th hope that it will split the
merchandise market wide open and let in both light and
reason. High prices do not begin with the retailer. They begin
back with the increased cost of raw material, with the restriction
and high cost of manufacture, with the tieing up of goods by
speculators, and with unsettled condition of labor. But high
prices do culminate with the retailer and the sledgehammer blow
that may break their backbone must begin at the point of con
tact with the consumer.
