Pen ney, given while he was on a recent trip around the world, the Bangkok Daily Mail of Bangkok, Siam, says, "That advertising is the biggest aid to business today and that young men starting in business should strive for a career by beginning at the bottom and working up, were the keynote comments made by J. C. Penney, the chairman of the Board of J. C. Penney Co., operating over 1200 retail stores in a statement made to this paper." ''Without advertising, no business can hope tq succeed in the face of present day competition and up-to-date methods," Mr. Penney declared in the interview. "The old axiom that 'truth in adverUsing pays' is just as potent today as it ever was, in fact even more so. The day when a business could deviate from the straight truth regarding ita products or its organization is gone. The public knows too much about what is going on to be deceived by anything less than the plain truth. "If a business man or an organization cannot be fair and truthful regarding its wares or its methods of th th man uf ac t ure an d h andl.mg em, en that business cannot hope to succeed." In speaking of young men J'ust entering business, Mr. Penney said, 'Too many young men, after receiving their education, want to step into high positions, getting jobs at figures that approach their idea of their usefulness or that enable them to start oft' in life fairly comfortably. "That is desirable, but not at the beginning of the game. Apprenticeship is the most valuable asset there is in any profession in dy walk in life. Begin at the bottom and work up; that is one of the most certain roads to success. Jumping the ladder has proven to be the 'longest short cut' there is to the attainment of ambitions." Mr. Penney started in as a clerk at a salary which to-day woul~ lo<:>k like wages for a day. With him 1t was wages for a month. He opened up his first store ?n $500 cash .a nd a note for $1500. foday the busmess of the J. C.
