BEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON". THTTRSDAT. APRIL 16. 1936. PAGE FIVE SALE CELEBRATES OF PENNEY STORE A aalo to mark the company's 84th anlversary m begun at tha J. C. Penney store here today. We are going to celebrata thl birthday fittingly," aald w. 8. Bolger. manager, "Just as our founder would J . 1)1 & m J. C. Penney. want us to, by packing the customer's dollar full of value. "We have 1,487 stores today because Mr. Penney back In 1903 proved that you can make friends by selling mer chandise built up to a standard and not down to a price. "You know that a man must have sound foundation principles to build a store with a capital of $500 Into more than a two hundred million dol lar business In 34 years. "We are re-dedlcatlng ourselves to those original Ideas and we are ex pressing our appreciation for past pat ronage by saying It with values. The company was founded by J. C. Penney in April, 1902, at Kemmerer. Wyo., a town which then had a popu lation of less than 1,000. Hts total capital was Just $500. At that time he had no thought of having more than one store, though he did have definite Ideas on store conduct. He maintained that two forces, the spiritual and the economic, must be coordinated If an enterprise Is to be successful. When Mr. Penney said he would use the golden rule as a foundation principle in his business, he was told that such a policy was good In theory but would not work in practice. "Application of the golden rule to business does not mean the simple minded surrender to every pressure brought to bear upon it, as so many persons seem to think" Mr, Bolger said. "It means treating everyone fair ly, generously and honorably, yet in a ressonable. practical manner." Bankers who originally questioned the soundness of Mr. Penney'a ideal istic policies are today eager to co operate. For 34 years now Mr. Pen ney has maintained that honesty and a square deal do pay, both spiritually and materially, Mr. Bolger empha sized. Mr. Penney was a visitor here In 1933 and many will recall the address he gave before the Medford Chamber of Commerce. The local J. C. Penney atore was opened in August, 1927.
