sell milk at half price. Quite naturally you would ques
tion the quality of the milk offered you on those days,
or you would wonder if you were not paying too much
on the other days of the week.
But, of course, your milkman doesn’t sell his product
that way— nor does the J. C. Penney Company. Both
of us realize that our customers must have merchandise
of assured quality, priced as near the actual cost of pro
duction as possible, plus a fair charge for distribution
and handling.
Neither your milkman nor our Company believe in
marking goods up one day, in order to ’’cut prices’*
the next.
