Pennejr store of' inot aas hut a srnaU ‘'general ston'’ #at, the (oonAer, '^llites Penoe/; laid down certain rules of dealing with cu»- toaers that have been followed rigorously ever since. Mr. Pen- ney’s first year’s volume of busi ness was probably smaller than any dry goods store in North H’llkesboro and only s’orked one man In the 1902' Kremmer, Wyo. store. Today the Penney company employs over 30,000 salespeople. This year the Pennejr company will add two stores to Its now 26 In North Carolina. The company has xgrown continually since its beginning. Manager's Statement “In the 4 3 states there are to day 1,567 J C. Penney Company stores—each one run by the most Sfflcient methods of modern bus- ness management. By this eco lomical operation the manager of jvery J. C. Penney Compsmy store passes on to you, undiminished, the savings that we earn by our immense buying power. In addi tion, each store is stocked strict ly to meet local needs, as the re sult of the intensive study which each manager gives to bis com munity. Moreover, the stocks in each store are kept strictly up-to- date by an almost continuous sup ply of new, fresh merchandise from recognized sources of pro duction. Thus you are always able to get what you want, when you want it, if you trade with us. We buy and sell only standard, sound ly made goods. We do not han dle bankrupt stocks, imperfect goods or “seconds”. Therefore, we have no pretext for “reducing prices.” On the arrival of new goods we do not “mark up” pric es unduly so as to provide a mar gin for “mark down’’ prices later on. Instead, when merchandise is received at our store the lowest possible price consistent with its market value is placed on it. You get Me advantage of this low pried every day, not alone on sperfal occasions. Fair, isn’t it?

J. W. Steele, a young Guilford county man, came to North Wil kesboro about two months ago and purchased the stock of the Western auto Associate store lo cated in Hotel Wilkes building-bn Main street next to Duke Power company. Although he has been here comparatively a short time, Mr, Steele has formed a deep liking for North Wilkesboro. He finds the people genial, pleasant and friendly and the climate and scenery in this section of the state are conducive to good health and contentment. The Western ,\uto Associate Store Is owned by Mr. Steele, who is making his home here, but his connection with a nation-wide or ganization of Western Auto Asso ciate stores gives him the advant age of mass buying from mass production industries. This means loVer prices. The store not only carries a bl.s line of automobile accessories but many household appliances and items for home use will be found there at all times at low prices and on easy term payments if de sired. Mr. Steele is glad to be a citi zen of North Wilkesboro and hopes to do his part toward the continued progress of this metro polis of northwestern North Car olina which has a most enviable record of steady and continuous growth over half a century. Has pealership Here For Chrysler and Plymouth Cars, G. M. C. Trucks ience or hardship in order to en joy “A Special Price for Today" or “For This Week Only.” Shop tomorro’v or next week—the same values, the same service a- wait you then as now. A low price is pot necessarily a good value—often it is an apol ogy for inferiority. How well will the merchandise serve its pur pose, not how cheaply can we sell it, is the rule by which all our goods are hlought. The best proof of this is the enormous growth of our business. Prices are trans ient—quality endures, surviving long after price is forgotten. That’s why millions do practical ly all their shopping at J. C. Pen- ney's. Our efficient store opera tions and the intelligent use of our immense buying power, may have attracted in the beginning, but it was demonstrated quality that convinced. It will pay you, too, to shop where low prices al ways include good value. ‘‘Getting credit’’ is the same as borrowing money. You have to pay for both. Therefore, if we gave you “credit” (that is, loaned i'oii money to buy with) we would have to charge you for the service and the extra bookkeeping in volved. This charge would have to be tacked on the prices that you pay for our merchandise. In stead. you pay cash and save men- ey. Moreover, when a "credit” customer turns out to be a “slow payer,” or a “non-payer,’’ the money lost must be added to the store's expense, which in turn is reflected in the charge made a- gainst the cash-paying customers. At a J. C. Penney store every customer pays as he goes, and the “cash customer” Is not penalized for the shortcomings of the “cred it customer.” Shop where savings and fair treatment are assured. Motor Service Sales company, which has dealership here for Chrysler and Plymouth cars and General Motors trucks, has been successfully operating In North Wilkesboro for several years. The location of the company’s business is on Ninth street near the corner of Ninth and D streets in a spacious building which ade quately houses all departments of the business. New model cars and trucks are on display at all times and any member of the personnel of the company will be glad to give a demonstration. Some very good bargains in used curs are also on hand at the present time. A modern repair and service department is maintained at all times with well experienced me chanics to take can; of almost any kind of job In automotive re pair work. A service station is operated in connection with thh business, providing one-stop serv ice.
