Penney Company owning and operating 297 stores, is the out- growth of a small store started in Kem- merer, Wyoming, in 1902.

In addition to quantity purchases - we do, by our centralized buying organ- ization, almost entirely eliminate the middleman’s profits that generally con- stitutes part of the cost in the usual one- store-only buying. What we save in buying is passed on to our customers. This fact in itself is a very good reason why we sell con- stantly at such low pri_ces. G WE NEVER HAVE SALES With a J. C. Penney Company near you —there-is no need or wisdom in waiting for “special sales” to buy at lowest prices. We never hold “sales” or “cut price events.” “Sales” are either a dis- posal of undesirable merchandise or else the price has been marked too high at first so as to stand a “mark down” at the. end of the season. Think it over! Who pays the big profits when the “sales” m'et}}Od is-used. . You can buy from us at the beginning of the season, when goods-are the new- est, at prices generally as low as the so- called “after-the-season clearance sales.”- is the { Nation~-wide Silver City Institution ~ Bemidji, Minn. s — THE 297 Stores Selling: Ready-to-fiear Appa’r'el, Clothing, Dry:G One Price to Everybody < OUR BUYING ORGAN.- IZATION To make certain that we are constantly - able to supply you with the newest and best that the nation’s markets produce, we maintain all-year-round buying or- ‘ganizations in our own offices at New.
