Description: From its opening in 1877, the John Wanamaker name was a fixture in Philadelphia as a leading department store, gathering place, and prominent building situated in the heart of Center City across from City Hall, bustling Market and Broad Streets, and the Reading Terminal. For a long period of time, it was a golden age of big-name department stores in Philadelphia, with the Wanamaker name amongst other juggernauts such as Gimbels and Lit Bros. The Wanamaker Organ. “Meet Me at The Eagle”. The Holiday Light Show. 9 floors of shopping. Crystal Tea Room. And so much more that made Wanamakers special. This 14-page Special Section of the Philadelphia Inquirer was published on August 28, 1995 and covered the history, the recent times, and the future of the landmark building from all angles — employees, community, customers, and cultural significance. It’s an excellent look back and study on the life of a retail business and its role in Philadelphia’s history, in addition to the local business advertisements and more that you’d expect in a nearly 30-year-old newspaper. This purchase allows you to hold on to a significant piece of Philadelphia’s history for a very reasonable price. Please see the pictures included here for the exact newspaper that you will receive upon purchase. It is in nearly-perfect, off-the-rack condition with sharp corners and edges and no significant creases, rips, markups, or other defects or signs of heavy use or aging. The newspaper has had only one owner through the years and has been stored in a plastic tub in a climate-controlled and smoke-free home. If you have additional questions or need additional pictures, please feel free to ask.
