John Wanamaker was known as Philadelphia's greatest merchant and retail innovator. If you weren't pleased, you could return anything. Including that dress you wore to the wedding. And get a refund. Prices were firm, no haggling. Novel at the time. He was one of the first to use electricity throughout the store.
Wanamaker added to the store which had originally been a freight depot. He gradually bought up the entire square block. Then tore it down (1901-1910) in sections in order to to rebuild and stay in business. The present store no longer retains the name.
W. C. Fields worked at Wanamaker's as a teenager (15). He was fired after repeatedly allowing the doors to snap back too quickly propelling the customers forward at a fast trot. He went into vaudeville or the circus shortly afterwards.
Hello, and thank-you for taking time to visit my web site. As a long time illustrator specializing in pen and ink, photography developed as a means for me to become expressive in color. My specialty as a line artist has always been history and architecture. I've created series for major companies, publishers, and cultural institutions throughout the United States. Take time to visit some of my galleries. I welcome commissions such as house portraits and hobby related subject matter. Again, take a peek at the galleries to get a better idea. I hope that you enjoy both means of expression and visit often. Thanks, Ira Shander
