J. G. PENNEY STORE
EXPANSION PUNS
TOLD BY MANAGER
R. F. Baker, manager o the
Medford J. C. Penney store on
Central avenue, pointed out to
day that Penney's decision to
take over the building and prop
erty at the northeast corner of
Sixth and Central avenues,
across the street from the pres
ent store, as a future place of op
eration is a move in line with
the company's general plans for
R. F. Baker
postwar expansion. Announce
ment of the sale of the 200 by
100 foot property, formerly
owned by Porter J. Neff and oc
cupied by Groceteria No. 1, to
the Penney company was made
recently.
"We can't say yet when we
will start building our new store
and we" still have to study and
approve the architectural plan.
But you can be sure of several
things," Mr. Baker said. "We're
going to have a bigger store,
larger selection of merchandise,
a store easier to shop in, and a
more modern plant in every re
pect. Mors Room Needed In Medford
The present Penney store in
Medford has been in operation
since 1927. It has become more
and more a part of Medford with
each passing year. Consequently,
the store has reached a point
where more room is necessary.
"The opportunity to expand
while still remaining in the
heart of the business district,"
Mr. Baker continued, "is too
good an opportunity to pass up."
Although the J. C. Penney
Company began as a single store
in Kemmerer, Wyoming, in 1902,
today it is the largest organiza
tion of its kind in the country.
More than 1,600 comjnunities
in the 48 United States are serv
ed by Penney stores, the retail
value of goods thus distributed
amounting to over a half billion
dollars annually.
The first Penney store in Ore
gon was opened at Pendleton,
April 1911. Now the state has
42 Penney stores. Baker has
been connected with the Penney
company since September 1927,
starting at Bellingham, Wm. He
later was manager of the Yak
ima, Wash., store and was made
manager of the Medford store
In January of 1937.

This little girl is free to fend for herself! Free to face a
multitude of problems.
Her problems are the world's problems. let's face therm
Tor instance, let' face the desperate need for clothing now
in Europe and Asia.
Goal of the Victory Clothing Collection is 100,000,000 garments,
plus shoes and bedding. If your contribution seems negligible, bear
this in mind: Every garment you give means one more human being
saved from cold or sickness or possibly death.
About 25,000,000 people overseas received clothing collected
from Americans last spring. But for every person clothed so far, a
dozen more remain virtually threadbare. Your spare clothing will
be distributed free, without discrimination, to victims of Nazi and
Jap oppression in Europe, the Philippines, and the Far East.
In 'most any town or city overseas there is someone who can
translate English. You can help build international friendship by
writing a simple, friendly letter to pin to the clothing you contribute.
Dig into your attics, trunks, and closets today. Dig out all the
clothing you can spare. Take it to your local collection depot now.
