While leaving the actual prépara
tion of the tax bill in the hands of the
tax committee and treasury officials, j
Mr. Coolidge hopes that it will provide
for general relief and at the same 1
time make possible the greatest ;

To accomplish this end Mr. Coolidge '
thinks the maximum surtax should be

a smaller tax rate, even as low as
12 per cent, would produce greater
returns to the government and stim-.

rate.
The president also stands on his
previous pronouncement that the in-1
heriatnee tax should be greatly re
duced if not previously wiped out.
The president conferred with Chair

NEW STORE IS TO
BE OPENED HERE
-
ONE OF 676 J. C. PENNEY CO. DRY
GOODS AND CLOTHING STORES
In Twenty-Three Years, the Nation
Wide Organization Has Increased
Its Annual Sales from Nearly $29,
000 to $75,000,000—Sells for Cash
Only.
Considerable interest Is being mani
fested in the new mercantile concern
soon to occupy the store in the Pollard
Hotel block on Broadway. The open
ing date has not been announced.
The new store will be conducted by
the J. C. Pennçy Company operating
one of the largest if not the largest
multiples of department stores in tibe
world. It has 676 stores, scattered in
44 states.
It is a strong organization finan
cially. The annual statement as of
December 31st last, shows a surplus of
$9,488,655.69.
Mr. James Cash Penney founded the
company in April, 1902, at Kammer«,
Wyoming, doing a gross business the
first year of $28,898.11. In 1924, twen
ty-three years later, the gross busi
ness amounted to $74,261,343. We are
told that the company estimates its
business this year in excess of $90,
000 , 000 .
Some people may receive a wrong
impression of the kind of merchandise
gold by the j C Penney Company be-1
cau8e of the found er's name. The
name « Penney .. is confuse d with the
word "penny." The company handles
dry goods, apparel for women, misses,.
youn g men , youths and boys, furnish
j nj , s an d sb oes for the whole family,
no tions and kindred lines.
; g p i a j n to be seen that because
of the enormous amount of merchan- !
dise required for 676 stores, their abil- j
ity to buy from manufacturers is un- j
excelled and rarely equalled. Uni-1
formly low selling prices are a natural ;
outcome of the strong position the |
«°r»ipany occupies in the marfcet.
The manager of each store selects
his own goods from the stocks submit
ted by the company's buyers in New
York, who are constantly in the
market, thus being in a position con
tinuously to provide the requirements
of the people in his community.
In this respect and in many other
ways, the J. C. Penney Company dif
fers from what are ccmmonly called
chain stores. Further individual ef

ficiency is bad, owing to the fact that
the manager is a co-partner, owning
stock in his store,
Our readers will be interested in the
fact that the company never holds a
sale of any kind. The selling price of
an article or price of goods is fixed at
the lowest possible figure the moment
it is received, leaving no margin for
a further reduction in order to hold a
sale.
The company has no charge ac
counts, selling for cash only and thus
sustaining no losses. Another saving
to customers is provided by their
carrying home all purchases. Cash
and carry save their customers many
thousands of dollars in course of a
year.
Mr. F. Friauf of Missoula will be
the co-partner-manager of the local
