A woman took a pair of gloves to Wanamaker’s not long ago,
insisting that she bought them there, notwithstanding that the
head of the department told her the house never carried that
make of gloves. She insisted, however, and the gloves were taken
and she was given the money for them. The manager says that he
knew the woman was telling an untruth, but that he did not want
to quarrel with her, and he regarded the transaction as a very
good advertisement for the house, because she would probably
many times tell her friends how she beat Wanamaker’s, and that
this publicity would be worth more than the gloves.--_Success
