IF SHOW FAITH
He thinks Business Revival
Week Will be Expanded
Into Many Years
"What do T think of Business Revival
Week?" fviid John Wanamaker
in his private office in his New York
store?"why I think it will he ex,
paneled into a business revival of year
and years. I have more faith in
America today and more expectation
for the future than at nnv timo in mv
sixty years as a merchant.
"To show that these are not mere
words of optimism for advertising
purposes let me tell you how we are
backing this faith with actual deeds
and expenditures of money?making
investments for the future, you might
say.
Points to Stewart Building.
"Do you see that gray building
across Ninth street? A. T. Stewart,
New York's foremost merchant of his
day, built it fifty years ago, and it
has never been surpassed in arrangements,
facilities, conveniences, light,
ventilation and general service for
storokeeping. It has 547 windows
for instance, fronting on four streets,
with a great rotunda in the center
and large skylights on the top P.oors,
allowing a perfect flood of fresh air
and daylight to flow through constantly.
Even our new building, twice as
large, built .us late as 11)00, is not an
improvement, although constructed on
the same general li'ies.
"Well, Stewart made that store the
greatest in America. He started it
i1_ 1 i- 4 ! -I-.
in tno gloomy rei:oii.sn ui'tiiMi mu\.>
after the Civil War and ho never lot
his faith go down for a moment.
"Now in those other reconstruction
clays we arc reviving in that old store
the best genius that .Stewart puf into
it. Wo .are restoring it. :i: nearly aspossible
as it was in Stewart'- day.
"We are making it again America's
foremost store.
"Any one can see the changes and
improvements. But we are asked repeatedly,
'Why are you expanding
and putting such fine goods to the
fore?like jewelry and silver and
treasurers from the Orient ? when
a business is slow?' My reply is: FioT
<vuiso 1 have faith in America and in
New York.
"Get to Work: Do All You Can."
"I loft Philadelphia this morning at
7 o'clock when she was just gettingl
awake, and when 1 reached New York |
at 0 I found the streets already bustling
with eager people going about
their work. The forryhoat must have
had several thousand people aboard.
"When 1 passed the Leviathan, which
tho Shipping Board now promises
restore and put into service ."gain. r
said: That's the kepnote for the
American people; ^et to work, get
into service, do all you can."
/'How ivhont unemployment?"
"There will be plenty of work for
jill if we show our faith, nor. by relaxing
?''i' efforts, holding; back in
fear, putting on blue glasses and
keej.inp our money in our pockets, but
by making needed imorove:ncut
starting to build and r< bviid, '\:\!rg
,an<- selling?putting to work our enei
gjriGf. our brains, our moneys ?
every thing we have?for the good of
the country.
"Instead of curtailing our advertising
wo are enlarging it. Instead of
standing pat on our store as they
have been we are refitting, rearranging,
rebuilding and improving thorn.
To do this we have given employment
to large bodies of mech; lies and
oth.ers do'* .and nie-ht.
Adding to Organization.
"Instead of cutting down our organization
we are adding to it and
building; it up. Wc mean to l>o ready
for thn good times just ahead. nrl ho
who does not t^ol ready is blind to
t!io future of America.
"How can any one ho a pessimist
about 1h is country? YVhv, ovon
F. ance ,?md England and Germany,'
all hard r hit hy the war than wo,
are putting u to pir n e in taking ofT
their coats and 'vetting to work.
"Moncv )usl romo out of if hiding
places- in haul- > and in the homos?
and >';o to work a'ong with our phy i
ojil and montal energy to build new
lv me , new stores, now factories, now
bu micssos, new courage and now
faith.
"A. T. .Stewart showed the way in
bis day. When Ireland wa -tutoring
with famine h^ sent a*.k-hiuload of
food. When General Grant wanted
to make him his ^ocrc'ary of the
Treasury and his enemies said: Tie
belongs to the money interests, Stewart
replied, 41 will sell out my whole
store or give it away if necessary that
I might serve my country.'
Thrives on Competition.
j "Mew,art only had a few real competitory
in business- mainly Horace
R Claflin. Today Nov/ York teem?
with merchants and stores, which reminds
me that when I first opened
my bis: store in Philadelphia I repeatedly
was threatened and I was
ur^ed to take around with me a body
ftuai'd because the littlo merchants
that I w?as supposed lo be putting out.
of business mi?*ht seek my lifo. Tf
people only realized that business
thrives on competition?all business?
and that the people'; interests {.n j>'?'ttinR
better merchandise and! lower
pricc^ are alway improved when
competition unstifled.
"1 feel that i ha^e brought, to New
York more tVian I h?ve ever tnkrn,
away, an'? the best example or this
-
t
- TH
is my son, Rodman Wanamaker.
"We invested in these properties
i at Astor Place at a very low financial
figure under great pressure to move
uptown. We weighed the subject very
carefully and preferred to set the new
Wanamaker building by the side of
the fine old Stewart structure, and we
now have a frontage on five streets
of 2,022 feet, and a space for doing
business, including the garage and
warehouse on Broadway a few blocks
south, of thirty-eight acres a goodsized
farm.
"I also feel that I have a duty to a
city that had in it such a great merchant
as A. T. Stewart. It is noticeable
that in almost every big city
every man is for himself; he thinks
only of his own interests; there isn't
much unity to make a jrreat citv
greater, all are too busy with their
own private interests.
"Well, if this cannot bo overcome,
then let every one get busy and do
what he can foY his own business,
and in the end the whole community
will benefit.
"This seems strange talk for sleepy
Philadelphia to give to wide-awake
New York?but you see the virus of
your great city's energy has got into
my blood."

E HORRY mroAY-n, 00WWAY,
MAN CAN LIVE
FOREVER, CLAIM
i
Dr. Carrell's Experiments
With Fragment of Chicken
Interest Many
I Paris.?Can man live forever? The
I question is being; seriously asked.
Paris is much excited over an announcement
which, I am told, long
ago was made in New York. This is
of the fact that Dr. Alexis Carrel 1,
the truly wonderful Frenchman,
whose opportunity was given him by
the Rockefeller Foundation vn New
| York, has told something of the ex
j periment which he began long ago ut
| the New York Rockefeller Institute.
It was on January 17, 1021, when
I Dr. Carrel 1, then in New York, took
sixteen fragments of a chicken embryo
eight days old, and, entirely
separated as they were from all the
vit.-.l organs of the chick quite separated,
indeed, from all else, placed
them under certain favorable conditions
in gelatine. They were from
the chicken embryon's heart and other
vital organs.
Nearly all remained alive for a
short time. But by March only five
fragments arrived. Various accidents
and bacterial infections affected and
killed all of these but one by September
25.
This tiny fragment was taken from
the connective tissue derived from
the heart of the chicken and at the
end of 101 days away from its organism
it was still "beating"?that
is, regularly palpitating with life.
The discovery of this, which was
announced, but in a highly scientific,
cautious manner, so. that its significance
should not be mistaken by the
laity, but so that it might be used as
a basis for deduction-drawing by the
scientific minds of the world, who
were indirectly incited to give thought
for it. niv.Jtod a veritable sensation
to all minds except the brilliant young
Franco-American's.
He was not surprised. He rather
was astonished because he had not
been able to keep aP t.he fragments
alive.
Not only d:<l this fragment live, but
i its cells multiplied, which resulted in
a steady if slow growth in size.
Fragment Still Lives.
It never has ceased to palpitate
and to vigorously grow and the nos
sibi'ities this open < up aro vast indeed.
The scientific mind, as a matter
af fact, hesitates at interpretations
of them. The vistas which they
open up are too far-reaclv'ng .
French scientific opinion recent J v,
however. lias reached some definite
conclusions which m,nv he said to be
among1 the most startling over known
since the birth of modern science.
Thev are to the rIToct that it i?? now
established beyond any possibility of
doubt that tho tissues of which al1
animals, including human beings, are
actually immortal.
This is established by the proof
that a culture from an anim.al kept
away from all the fatal influence*?
which animal life a1^ present is subjected
to. can and will live much longer
than that animal itself can live.
The life of Dr. Carrell's chicken-fragment
is, today, greater than the 1 ifehistnry
of any complete chicken
known to the records of the chicken
fanoiei s .
'Vhv Not Indei'inite!v long Life for
Man?
Tf indefinitely Ionn; life is conceivable
for "> single cell, i< should not be
i'lconceivable for a collection of cell.-?.
<^a\ the best French scientific thinkers
stimulated into deep reflection b '
the Carrel experiment. \!1 individual
aniifials, including luu ians, .are
collections of cells and nothing more
than that.
"The intelligence of the hum; n be
int>\" TCdison has declared, "is- the
col'ctive intelligence of the eel's o'"
which that human being is com ;r ^<1.
as the intelligence <">f a city is the collective
intelligence of the hunu-.n beir
gs which make up that oil v. The
world will get a right viewpoint of
lir > when i1 begins to recogr>ze th.'.t j
the cell and not the human beinr i
the actual individual. T!' ve remember
that and deal with life prr.hlei. s
a<j such we shall get at the bottom of j
things far more quickly lb.in we shall j
otherwise he able to do."

Carroll has been working, has beei

ivom tnese disastrous outside influences.
Age Merely a Disease.
This confirms the theory of the famous
Dastre that olrl age is merely a
disease. 'Hie breaking down of a single
cell, through the successful attack
of some outer enemy, may make
a breach in the whole line> as the
breaking down of "a single military
unit may make a break in a battle
front.
Carroll's "experiment certainly has
established in French scientific minds
th" theory that human immortality iat
least theoretically possible.
