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.
