Combine or Bust in an Era of Big Department Stores
A 1897 essay discusses the squeeze on small merchants in Chicago as large department stores expand. It warns that fixed capital and long experience fail to shield independents who must either merge or go bankrupt. The public’s preference for convenience feeds the consolidation and pushes small shops toward extinction. The piece argues the rise of giants harms labor and local commerce.

Labor's Decline Under Department Stores Warned by Ledger
An editorial argued that small capital cannot sustain independent business and that cheap female labor drives men from entrepreneurship. It warned of loss of individuality under concentrated retail systems, urging cooperative public ownership as the remedy. The piece closes with a mock dialogue and a recruitment note from the Progressive Farmer.
