A PERSONAL MESSAGE
FROM THE FOUNDER OF
THE J.C.PENNEY COMPANY
A TREMENDOUS TASK LIES AHEAD OF US!
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.
