Penney Associates
Receive Bonus At
Christmas Party
A Christmas party for person
nel of the Laurel J. C. Penney
company store, their husbands
and wives, was enjoyed Tuesday j
evening at the parish hall, j
Twenty-one people attended the (
v affair, which began with a dinner j
and was followed by an exchange
of gifts, dancing and bingo
games. Christmas carols were
sung.
!
I
The orchestra for dancing was
composed of Mrs. Percy Page,
piano; Mr. Page, saxophone; j
Erwin Roberts, drums, and Mrs.
Herman Kugas, guitar.
An important part of the pro
gram was the presentation of
Christmas checks to the store,
personnel.
The board of directors of the
J. C. Penney company some time j
ago authorized a special payment j
equal to two weeks' pay for all
full-time associates who have
been employed for the full year j
of 1948 and on a proportionate
basis for extra and part-time as- '
sociates as well as for those em
ployed less than a year.
All associates throughout the
company share in the payment
except those of the management
staff, whose earnings are deter
mined largely by the company's
long-standing profit-sharing plan.
S. C. Johnson, manager of the
Penney store here, said that more
than 50,000 Penney associates all
over the United States will par
ticipate in the payment, includ
ing 10 at the Laurel store. This
is not a Christmas bonus in the
usual sense and is non-recurring.
It is authorized in recognition of)
existing unusual business and
economic conditions.
The company some years ago
substituted a thrift and profit
sharing plan for the more usual
Christmas bonus, into which the
company pays a proportionate
share of its earnings. The cur
rent extra payment is additional
to the thrift and profit-sharing
benefits.
