John Wanamaker {vintage Department Store Catalogs & History} On Dvd For Sale
DESCRIPTION
John Wanamaker opened his first New York store in New York City in 1896, continuing a mercantile
business originally started by Alexander Turney Stewart.
A larger store in Philadelphia, the 12-story granite "Wanamaker Building" was completed in 1910,
encompassing an entire block at the corner of Thirteenth and Market Streets across from Philadelphia's
City Hall. The new store, which still stands today, was dedicated by US President William Howard Taft,
and houses a large pipe organ, the Wanamaker Grand Court Organ, and the 2,500-pound bronze "Wanamaker
Eagle" in the store's Grand Court, which became a famous meeting place for Philadelphians.
Wanamaker was an innovator, creative in his work, and a merchandising and advertising genius, though
modest and with an enduring reputation for honesty. Although he did not invent the fixed-price system,
he popularized it into what became the industry standard, and did create the money-back guarantee that
is now standard business practice. He gave his employees free medical care, education, recreational
facilities, pensions and profit-sharing plans before such benefits were considered standard.
We are pleased to present this huge collection of Wannamaker catalogs, history books and publications
written y John Wanamaker relating to both the store history and the cities they were located in.
