Today America is at war. Now, in wartime, because of the tremendous job ahead of us, we must learn again to work hard and to live simply to put into the preserving of -America what we once put into the building of it to re turn to the old ways of Thrift and Savings that were the general rule at the beginning of this century. We feel that the Penney Company is peculiarly well equipped to make a substantial contribution toward the Thrift and Savings of the nation because the Penney Company knows from long experience what thrift is all abort. Thrift is nothing new to the Penney Company it is our stock in trade. When the Penney business was founded, in 1902, hard work, and spartan living were the general rule. Our first little store in Kemmerer .Wyoming was dedicated to Thrift, and all through the years, as our business has grown, Thrift has continued to be our guiding principle. THRIFT AND SAVINGS ARE A BIG PART OF THE JOB The Penney Co.'s practice of Thrift and Savings is evidenced In everything we dot We buy for cash and sell for cash; we make no deliveries; we eliminate all costly frills and extravagances; we operate on. an ex tremely small margin of profit per transaction; we buy at the source In the most economical quantities; we save at every turn! All this means that now when Thrift and Sav ings mean more than ever, it will pay you, it will save precious dollars for you, always to shop first at Penney's. WE REDEDICATE OURSELVES, TODAY, ON OUR 40th ANNIVERSARY, TO THE SERVICE OF AMERICA We rededicate ourselves to Thrift and Savings. We rededi cate our 1600 stores, which now stretch from coast to coast, to the great job of helping American families to continue to live well for less.
