What we want to drive home is that very obvious fact that there are many ways hitherto untried by which humanitarian literature may be turned to value and the strain on the coffers of the party alleviated. For instance, with the active co-operation of a few score persons, why should not any paper, as an advertising medium only, be turned to profit? Some intelligible system by which say a hundred persons were to combine for the respective supply of some of their most ordinary wants would almost keep any monthly paper going. Of course, we couldn&#8217;t suggest such a course in our own behalf, but now that selfish motives can no longer be imputed we tell humanitarians frankly that, if they mean to make a paying thing of their publications they must, by hook or crook, utilize them as marketable rather than ornamental advertising mediums. Have we not seen in one of the very foremost of these papers an advertisement of a company which we ourselves found out to be a failure months before it appeared in the aforesaid paper? Why should advertising space go thus a-begging? We repeat that if a few score humanitarians would only bind themselves together to trade with certain well-known tradespeople, in no matter whatever commodities, these same tradespeople would at once see it was well worth their while, in order to retain such valuable custom, to advertise each month in any specified publication. Think of a shoemaker receiving a hundred new regular customers amongst such a reliable class as is here represented! Would not a tailor snap smartly at such a chance? Or the hatter, or upholsterer, or the bicycle seller? We must all get our common wants supplied somewhere, most of us in London, too, and what on earth does it matter to us whether we deal with Shoelbred&#8217;s or Maple&#8217;s, with Whiteley&#8217;s or Crisp&#8217;s, with Parkin and Gotto&#8217;s or Straker&#8217;s, with John Piggott or Gamage? Other folks co-operate. Then why can&#8217;t we? For goodness sake, let us be more practical. We do not advocate the crippling of local industries &#8211; merely co-operation in commodities such as all of us are compelled to obtain from London tradespeople.<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-4'><a href=\"https:\/\/www.happycow.net\/blog\/on-humanitarian-finance\/#People_who_hold_up_hands_in_horror_at_the_idea_of_dealing_with_special_tradespeople_should_remember_that_if_humanitarianism_is_worth_anything_it_is_worth_fighting_for_tooth_and_nail_Tradespeople_who_turn_up_their_noses_at_humanitarian_publications_as_advertising_mediums_must_be_taught_that_the_humanitarian_purse_is_not_without_potency_Co-operation_is_not_boycotting_and_the_tremendous_odds_which_humanitarian_literature_fights_against_%E2%80%93_especially_under_the_cruel_censorship_of_the_railway_stalls_%E2%80%93_demand_effective_counteraction_Whilst_the_Humanitarian_League_are_forming_committees_of_several_kinds_why_should_they_not_form_a_special_%E2%80%9CLiterature_Committee%E2%80%9D_on_co-operative_lines_for_supplying_a_new_monthly_up-to-date_as_far_as_high-class_illustrations_and_letter-press_go_equal_to_the_most_alluring_of_the_monthlies_containing_general_reading_of_the_first_order_yet_admitting_no_contravention_of_the_humanitarian_law_The_first_thing_to_do_is_to_get_together_a_few_score_readers_who_would_undertake_to_trade_on_co-operative_lines_and_the_ball_is_at_our_feet_No_more_of_this_sense_of_dependence_on_those_generous_noble-minded_men_and_women_whom_every_one_of_us_who_starts_a_humanitarian_enterprise_seems_bound_to_sue_for_funds_but_a_new-found_sense_of_financial_security_and_ability_to_push_our_literary_wares_with_the_same_independence_as_other_publishers_and_journalists_Editorial_%E2%80%93_no_author_stated\" class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-23\"  >People who hold up hands in horror at the idea of dealing with special tradespeople should remember that, if humanitarianism is worth anything, it is worth fighting for tooth and nail. Tradespeople who turn up their noses at humanitarian publications as advertising mediums, must be taught that the humanitarian purse is not without potency. Co-operation is not boycotting, and the tremendous odds which humanitarian literature fights against &#8211; especially under the cruel censorship of the railway stalls &#8211; demand effective counteraction. Whilst the Humanitarian League are forming committees of several kinds, why should they not form a special &#8220;Literature Committee&#8221; on co-operative lines for supplying a new monthly, up-to-date as far as high-class illustrations and letter-press go, equal to the most alluring of the monthlies, containing general reading of the first order, yet admitting no contravention of the humanitarian law? The first thing to do is to get together a few score readers who would undertake to trade on co-operative lines, and the ball is at our feet. No more of this sense of dependence on those generous noble-minded men and women whom every one of us who starts a humanitarian enterprise seems bound to sue for funds, but a new-found sense of financial security and ability to push our literary wares with the same independence as other publishers and journalists.

Euston, the London terminus for the London North-Western Railway, was his first chosen site, and in the summer of 1848 he began negotiations. The vendor in situ, an ex-LWNR messenger called Gibbs, was unceremoniously moved aside and the first WH Smith railway bookstall opened on November 1st.<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-4'><a href=\"https:\/\/www.happycow.net\/blog\/on-humanitarian-finance\/#By_1860_Smiths_bookstalls_were_to_be_seen_on_all_main_lines_and_many_secondary_ones_It_was_a_cultural_revolution_as_well_as_a_commercial_one_The_Times_reported_%E2%80%98a_wholesome_change_in_railway_bookstalls%E2%80%A6_at_the_North_Western_terminus_we_diligently_searched_for_that_which_required_but_little_looking_for_in_other_places_but_we_poked_in_vain_for_the_trash_In_place_of_the_%E2%80%98trash_Smith_provided_%E2%80%98yellowbooks_%E2%80%93_cheap_reprints_of_out-of-copyright_volumes_%E2%80%93_while_Longmans_brought_out_a_%E2%80%98travellers_library_specifically_for_the_new_market_to_supplement_the_newspapers\" class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-46\"  >By 1860 Smith\u2019s bookstalls were to be seen on all main lines and many secondary ones.

Do such excellent and really high-class literary or artistic papers as are regularly published to assist the humanitarian cause pay their way, or are they, like the Gipsy Journal, merely bolstered up by the private purses of a well-known generous section of the party?<\/span><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<h4 class=\"_209g _2vxa\" style=\"padding-left: 60px; text-align: justify;\" data-block=\"true\" data-offset-key=\"8un7b-0-0\" data-reactid=\".0.1.0.1.0.0.$editor0.0.0.$8un7b\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"It_is_not_our_business_to_press_the_question_What_we_want_to_drive_home_is_that_very_obvious_fact_that_there_are_many_ways_hitherto_untried_by_which_humanitarian_literature_may_be_turned_to_value_and_the_strain_on_the_coffers_of_the_party_alleviated_For_instance_with_the_active_co-operation_of_a_few_score_persons_why_should_not_any_paper_as_an_advertising_medium_only_be_turned_to_profit_Some_intelligible_system_by_which_say_a_hundred_persons_were_to_combine_for_the_respective_supply_of_some_of_their_most_ordinary_wants_would_almost_keep_any_monthly_paper_going_Of_course_we_couldnt_suggest_such_a_course_in_our_own_behalf_but_now_that_selfish_motives_can_no_longer_be_imputed_we_tell_humanitarians_frankly_that_if_they_mean_to_make_a_paying_thing_of_their_publications_they_must_by_hook_or_crook_utilize_them_as_marketable_rather_than_ornamental_advertising_mediums_Have_we_not_seen_in_one_of_the_very_foremost_of_these_papers_an_advertisement_of_a_company_which_we_ourselves_found_out_to_be_a_failure_months_before_it_appeared_in_the_aforesaid_paper_Why_should_advertising_space_go_thus_a-begging_We_repeat_that_if_a_few_score_humanitarians_would_only_bind_themselves_together_to_trade_with_certain_well-known_tradespeople_in_no_matter_whatever_commodities_these_same_tradespeople_would_at_once_see_it_was_well_worth_their_while_in_order_to_retain_such_valuable_custom_to_advertise_each_month_in_any_specified_publication_Think_of_a_shoemaker_receiving_a_hundred_new_regular_customers_amongst_such_a_reliable_class_as_is_here_represented_Would_not_a_tailor_snap_smartly_at_such_a_chance_Or_the_hatter_or_upholsterer_or_the_bicycle_seller_We_must_all_get_our_common_wants_supplied_somewhere_most_of_us_in_London_too_and_what_on_earth_does_it_matter_to_us_whether_we_deal_with_Shoelbreds_or_Maples_with_Whiteleys_or_Crisps_with_Parkin_and_Gottos_or_Strakers_with_John_Piggott_or_Gamage_Other_folks_co-operate_Then_why_cant_we_For_goodness_sake_let_us_be_more_practical_We_do_not_advocate_the_crippling_of_local_industries_%E2%80%93_merely_co-operation_in_commodities_such_as_all_of_us_are_compelled_to_obtain_from_London_tradespeople\"><\/span><span data-offset-key=\"8un7b-0-0\" data-reactid=\".0.1.0.1.0.0.$editor0.0.0.$8un7b.0:$8un7b-0-0\"><span data-reactid=\".0.1.0.1.0.0.$editor0.0.0.$8un7b.0:$8un7b-0-0.0\">It is not our business to press the question. What we want to drive home is that very obvious fact that there are many ways hitherto untried by which humanitarian literature may be turned to value and the strain on the coffers of the party alleviated. For instance, with the active co-operation of a few score persons, why should not any paper, as an advertising medium only, be turned to profit? Some intelligible system by which say a hundred persons were to combine for the respective supply of some of their most ordinary wants would almost keep any monthly paper going. Of course, we couldn&#8217;t suggest such a course in our own behalf, but now that selfish motives can no longer be imputed we tell humanitarians frankly that, if they mean to make a paying thing of their publications they must, by hook or crook, utilize them as marketable rather than ornamental advertising mediums. Have we not seen in one of the very foremost of these papers an advertisement of a company which we ourselves found out to be a failure months before it appeared in the aforesaid paper? Why should advertising space go thus a-begging? We repeat that if a few score humanitarians would only bind themselves together to trade with certain well-known tradespeople, in no matter whatever commodities, these same tradespeople would at once see it was well worth their while, in order to retain such valuable custom, to advertise each month in any specified publication. Think of a shoemaker receiving a hundred new regular customers amongst such a reliable class as is here represented! Would not a tailor snap smartly at such a chance? Or the hatter, or upholsterer, or the bicycle seller? We must all get our common wants supplied somewhere, most of us in London, too, and what on earth does it matter to us whether we deal with Shoelbred&#8217;s or Maple&#8217;s, with Whiteley&#8217;s or Crisp&#8217;s, with Parkin and Gotto&#8217;s or Straker&#8217;s, with John Piggott or Gamage? Other folks co-operate. Then why can&#8217;t we? For goodness sake, let us be more practical. We do not advocate the crippling of local industries &#8211; merely co-operation in commodities such as all of us are compelled to obtain from London tradespeople.<\/span><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<h4 class=\"_209g _2vxa\" style=\"padding-left: 60px; text-align: justify;\" data-block=\"true\" data-offset-key=\"eial0-0-0\" data-reactid=\".0.1.0.1.0.0.$editor0.0.0.$eial0\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"People_who_hold_up_hands_in_horror_at_the_idea_of_dealing_with_special_tradespeople_should_remember_that_if_humanitarianism_is_worth_anything_it_is_worth_fighting_for_tooth_and_nail_Tradespeople_who_turn_up_their_noses_at_humanitarian_publications_as_advertising_mediums_must_be_taught_that_the_humanitarian_purse_is_not_without_potency_Co-operation_is_not_boycotting_and_the_tremendous_odds_which_humanitarian_literature_fights_against_%E2%80%93_especially_under_the_cruel_censorship_of_the_railway_stalls_%E2%80%93_demand_effective_counteraction_Whilst_the_Humanitarian_League_are_forming_committees_of_several_kinds_why_should_they_not_form_a_special_%E2%80%9CLiterature_Committee%E2%80%9D_on_co-operative_lines_for_supplying_a_new_monthly_up-to-date_as_far_as_high-class_illustrations_and_letter-press_go_equal_to_the_most_alluring_of_the_monthlies_containing_general_reading_of_the_first_order_yet_admitting_no_contravention_of_the_humanitarian_law_The_first_thing_to_do_is_to_get_together_a_few_score_readers_who_would_undertake_to_trade_on_co-operative_lines_and_the_ball_is_at_our_feet_No_more_of_this_sense_of_dependence_on_those_generous_noble-minded_men_and_women_whom_every_one_of_us_who_starts_a_humanitarian_enterprise_seems_bound_to_sue_for_funds_but_a_new-found_sense_of_financial_security_and_ability_to_push_our_literary_wares_with_the_same_independence_as_other_publishers_and_journalists_Editorial_%E2%80%93_no_author_stated\"><\/span><span data-offset-key=\"eial0-0-0\" data-reactid=\".0.1.0.1.0.0.$editor0.0.0.$eial0.0:$eial0-0-0\"><span data-reactid=\".0.1.0.1.0.0.$editor0.0.0.$eial0.0:$eial0-0-0.0\">People who hold up hands in horror at the idea of dealing with special tradespeople should remember that, if humanitarianism is worth anything, it is worth fighting for tooth and nail. Tradespeople who turn up their noses at humanitarian publications as advertising mediums, must be taught that the humanitarian purse is not without potency. Co-operation is not boycotting, and the tremendous odds which humanitarian literature fights against &#8211; especially under the cruel censorship of the railway stalls &#8211; demand effective counteraction. Whilst the Humanitarian League are forming committees of several kinds, why should they not form a special &#8220;Literature Committee&#8221; on co-operative lines for supplying a new monthly, up-to-date as far as high-class illustrations and letter-press go, equal to the most alluring of the monthlies, containing general reading of the first order, yet admitting no contravention of the humanitarian law? The first thing to do is to get together a few score readers who would undertake to trade on co-operative lines, and the ball is at our feet. No more of this sense of dependence on those generous noble-minded men and women whom every one of us who starts a humanitarian enterprise seems bound to sue for funds, but a new-found sense of financial security and ability to push our literary wares with the same independence as other publishers and journalists.

In 1910 the family left England for the United States via Montreal, Canada. \u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.godstone.net\/pages\/history.htm\"  target=\"_blank\" rel=\"external nofollow\">Diana Jones \/ April 2008<\/a><\/h4>\n<h4 class=\"yiv7974342342yui_3_7_2_39_1370002123407_124 yiv7974342342yui_3_16_0_1_1404189294970_43283 yui_3_16_0_1_1404197066650_16032\" style=\"color: #000000; text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%E2%80%A6%E2%80%A6%E2%80%A6%E2%80%A6%E2%80%A6%E2%80%A6%E2%80%A6%E2%80%A6%E2%80%A6%E2%80%A6%E2%80%A6%E2%80%A6%E2%80%A6%E2%80%A6%E2%80%A6%E2%80%A6%E2%80%A6%E2%80%A6%E2%80%A6%E2%80%A6%E2%80%A6%E2%80%A6%E2%80%A6%E2%80%A6%E2%80%A6%E2%80%A6%E2%80%A6%E2%80%A6%E2%80%A6%E2%80%A6%E2%80%A6%E2%80%A6%E2%80%A6%E2%80%A6%E2%80%A6%E2%80%A6%E2%80%A6%E2%80%A6%E2%80%A6%E2%80%A6%E2%80%A6-2\"><\/span><strong style=\"color: #008000; line-height: 1.5em;\">\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026.<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Notes_on_the_article\"><\/span><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Notes on the article<\/strong><\/span><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">.<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h4 id=\"yiv5236134147yui_3_7_2_28_1371553806531_135\" class=\"yui_3_16_0_1_1404197066650_25259\">W.

Smith, though, who realised that reading was far less difficult on a train than on a swaying stage-coach, was convinced that the opportunity existed for a more professional business selling papers and cheap books to the thronging passengers (who made 60 million journeys between them in 1850, each visiting at least two stations). Euston, the London terminus for the London North-Western Railway, was his first chosen site, and in the summer of 1848 he began negotiations. The vendor in situ, an ex-LWNR messenger called Gibbs, was unceremoniously moved aside and the first WH Smith railway bookstall opened on November 1st.<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<h4 class=\"yui_3_16_0_1_1404197066650_25265\" style=\"padding-left: 60px; text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"By_1860_Smiths_bookstalls_were_to_be_seen_on_all_main_lines_and_many_secondary_ones_It_was_a_cultural_revolution_as_well_as_a_commercial_one_The_Times_reported_%E2%80%98a_wholesome_change_in_railway_bookstalls%E2%80%A6_at_the_North_Western_terminus_we_diligently_searched_for_that_which_required_but_little_looking_for_in_other_places_but_we_poked_in_vain_for_the_trash_In_place_of_the_%E2%80%98trash_Smith_provided_%E2%80%98yellowbooks_%E2%80%93_cheap_reprints_of_out-of-copyright_volumes_%E2%80%93_while_Longmans_brought_out_a_%E2%80%98travellers_library_specifically_for_the_new_market_to_supplement_the_newspapers\"><\/span>By 1860 Smith\u2019s bookstalls were to be seen on all main lines and many secondary ones.
