Packed with care, ships in 1 business day. Note: Wanamaker's legendary department stores were palaces of delight that turned shopping into an event for ordinary people. John Wanamaker was a very spiritual man and was a pioneer in Truth in Advertising. Born in Philadelphia in 1838, John Wanamaker pioneered the concept of the department store. In 1861 Wanamaker and his brother-in-law, Nathan Brown, opened Oak Hall, a men's clothing store. Catering to an upscale market, he promised all-wool clothing and quality goods with a money-back-guarantee. The Experience of Shopping Riding the tide of his store's success, Wanamaker expanded his inventory and manufactured his own house brands as seen in this vintage scarf on offer. He also made some less conventional improvements to his store that would change the American experience of shopping. Wanamaker opened an in-store restaurant in 1876, installed electric lights in 1878, and added elevators in 1889. To keep turnover high and prices low, he created February "Opportunity Sales," July "Midsummer Sales" and in January 1878 the first "White Sale." While committed to keeping costs low, Wanamaker also sought out style and quality, sending ten buyers to Europe each year. A Palace of Delight - Trumpeted as "the largest space in the world devoted to retail selling on a single floor," the store featured 129 circular counters that ringed a central gas-lit tent for the demonstration of women's ballroom fashions. In 1896, he bought the A.T. Stewart Cast Iron Palace in New York and in 1902 connected it with a "bridge of progress" to the 16-story building next door. In 1911 Wanamaker expanded the Philadelphia store, featuring a 150-foot-high Grand Court with the world's second largest organ and a great eagle from the 1903 St. Louis World's Fair, which became a popular landmark and meeting spot.
