Its Purpose Stated to Be to Join
in Making City Better for
All Concerned
“Wo believe that enough business
to support another merchandising
establishment, business that right
fully belongs to Cottage Grove, is
going elsewhere. We believe that
we can hold a large part of that
business here, and that is one rea
son why wo are establishing our
store here.” That is a statement
by C. 8. Lowry, local manager for
the J. C. Penney company, whose
store here will open sometime dur
ing the first of March. “Of course
the factor which decided us in lo
cating here,” stated Mr. Lowry, “is
because the survey imide by ropre-
sentatives of the J. C. Penney coin-
pany indicated that this is going to
bo a first class business point.
Cottage Grove already has th«* repu
tation of being one of the best little
cities in tho volley and all tho in
dications are that it is going to
get better all the time»-”
His company, Mr. Lowry stated,
is ready to join with the other
business interests in making it a
bettor community for all.
Mr. Lowry was for eight years
with the Eugene store of this coin
pany, where lie had advanced to
the position of assistant manager.
