Ashland’s New Firm
A mercantile company which bases its opera­
tions on clean, progressive merchandising methods
should always be welcomed to a city, and, knowing
that The J. C. Penney company stores base their
operations on these principles, The Daily Tidings
extends greetings of warmest welcome to the local
unit o f this powerful organisation, which will hold
its formal opening Thursday.
The growth of the Penney idea has been in­
spirational. Starting with a small one-man store in
a very sn^all town, the system has grown into a
group of 900 units throughout the nation.
A* magnificent as has been the material growth
of the' store system, no less admirable, and influ­
ential in bringing about the growth of the organi­
zation probably, has been the loyalty and initiative
of the thousands of young men who have received
their training in the Penney stores as clerks, only
to become managers and' owners when they demon­
strated the ability to handle one of the units.
The Daily Tidings feels certain the local Penney
store will assume its part of the responsibility of
serving the buying public of Ashland and con-
tiguous territory with credit to itself and to the
community.

The Department of Commerce reports that 31
of the 48 slates had a surplus of revenues over ex­
penditures in 1926. The survey also shows that al­
though 23 states reduced indebtedness, the total in­
debtedness of all the statfia was greater than in
1925, and A? growing at a tremendous rate. This
. total state indebtedness now amounts to $11.46 per
'capita. This doernot include county or municipal
indebtedness. Nearly 5 per cent of all the states’
expenditures last year was applied to paying in­
terest on bonds.
"<W«'
It seems to be too easy to float bond issues
and saddle the next generation with debt. Our
state and municipal bonded debt now equals the
total national debt, but with a higher interest rate.
As an example of thrift Connecticut produces a bal­
ance sheet showing quick assets in exoees of in-
’ debtedness. They believe in the pay-as-you-go plan.
Oil Winbum Way
A local influential citizen recently informed
the writer he expected te request the oiling of
Winbum Way in the near future and added, while
this task would require only a small expense, it was
one of the most important ones which should be
consummated.
He stated it was possible the garages would
furnish refuse oil for this purpose, thus not costing
the city anything except the expense of hauling and
applying.
The Daily Tidings suggested this improvement
several weeks ago and reiterates that, for the
comfort of and impression on the thousands of
visitors who go to the park, this improvement is
imperative.
With 5,500 registered tourist camps in the
United States it would seem much of the country
must be ou wheels.
