NOT JUST A BOLT OF YARD GOODS... it's lovely dresses.. smart pajamas . . . new clothes for the kids . . . TVTOT just a bolt of Yard Goods, it's much more than that! It's a new dress for Mrs. Miller Play Suits for the Fletcher kids Pajamas for Mother and Dad a Bedspread for Aunt Martha! It's the hundreds of clever sod useful and pretty things into which the nimble wits and shuttling fingers of women can transform itl In a sense this simple bolt of Yard Goods is the crest and hallmark of a great American business The J. C Penney Company. THE FIRST PENNEY STORE, OPENED 41 YEARS AGO IN KEMMERER, WYOMING, SET A NEW PATTERN OF NEIGHBORLY, LOW COST, RETAIL STORE SERVICE. Yard Goods were a major part of the stock In trade 'of Mr. J. C Penney s first little store opened 4l years ago this month in Kemmerer, Wyoming. From the outside it looked far from impressive. Inside, though, people discovered it was different. For this store was dedicated to a new kind of store- keeping to a neighborly ides an idea as typi tally American as ride-sharing and quilting bees! Mr. Penney didn't think "How much can I taker but "How much can I give?" He cut out useless frills, charge accounts and deliveries: pared prices to the bone; preferred many sales at small profit to a tew at large profit. THE PENNEY IDEA SPREAD, AND GREW, UNTIL TODAY PENNEY STORES DOT THE ENTIRE MAP OF THE UNITED STATES j Kemmerer took to the first Penney store as buf faloS take to pasture! So did Moscow, Idaho later oa. And Salt Lake City, Utah. And San Antonio, Texas. And today there are over 1600 Penney stores in all 48 states, and Penney's is truly an American institution. For every hundred dollars worth of (beets, or blankets, or shoes, or Yard goods the Penney store sells in Peoria, Illinois or Scraoton, Pennsylvania, or Savannah, Georgia, it pays back honest and sub stantial savings. - - For every hundred dresses, or shirts, or overalls it sells in Waltham, Massachusetts, or Stockton, Cali fornia, or Chilh'cothe, Ohio, it pays back rich div deods in local salaries, rent and taxes. Today Penney stores from Coax to Coast are mak teg a tremendous contribution to the nation's war fime program of Thrift and Savings. Today Pen fy stores, in neighborly fashion, are helping to paiance ine nousenoid budgets of nuujons ot (unericans. ioaay Mr. Fenney's 41 year old idea pi success tnrougb giving, rather than taking, is inc renney way.
