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.
