' More than a quarter of a century ago, when J. C. Penney Co. was in the throes of expansion, the store was opened in Logan. Many will remember the ragged facade shown above. Not too long ago it was the front of the Logan store now The development of the J. C. Penney Company system, of which the Logan store is a part, is one of the great sagas of American business, its central figure, JAMES C. PENNEY, had original ideas, in the beginning, which have been brought into fruition. He would advertise honestly and without misrepresentation or exaggeration; and he would cut costs by selling only for cash, making no deliveries and eliminating unnecessary costs of operation. For Mr. Penney, and the organisation, these were not merely phrases, but the vital elements of e business, philosophy. Guided by these principles the company earned an enviable reputation. It grew and prospered. During the year 1950, with a sales force of more than 70,000 in all Penney stores, total sales reached nearly a BILLION dollars a real triumph of faith in rewards of hard work and fair dealing. "'The Golden Rule" principles remain relegated by progress. unchanged. true Business men welcome Penneys to a community of competitors because Penneys has established the reputation of being "honest and straightforward". Penney people welcome this warm and friendly attitude which invites the spirit of healthy competition so essential to a vigorous economy, and for the benefit of the American consumer.
