Do you want to trade with a store in which you can have confidence that the merchandise and prices are right every day in the year? Of course you do. That's just why it will pay you to become a steady customer of the J. C. Penney Co. Eighteen years ago this organization started out with one small store doing an annual business of twenty-nine thousand dollars. From this modest be ginning we have grown to a chain of 312 stores doing approximately FIFTY MILLION DOLLARS. During eighteen years we have never held a "special sale" of any kind in any of our stores. Our prices arc marked right in the first place. This does away with the necessity for "sales." Our enormous pur- g chasing power enables us to buy our merchandise for less money than our competitors. We eliminate middleman's profits and pass them along to our pa- 1 M 2 troiks in better merchandise at lower prices. £ Just now every item in our stores has been revised downward to meet our lower replacement costs. These prices are not transitory, but will remain in force until the goods are sold or market conditions necessitate a further revision. < ompare our prices with those offered by other stores.
