At this point Mr.. Taylor arose and said
that he wanted to correct an error which

J. c. PENNY STORE
WILL OPEN SOON

A. Z. Otis, manager of the Golden
Rule store, of The Dalles, who with A.
d. Fost, a representative of the con-
cern, of Portland, was here Tuesday to
make arrangements for the opening of
one Of the J. c. Penny stores here
about April |, says that he will leave
Friday for New York to purchase a
stock for the local store, which will be
housed in the west portion Of the
Stewart block. which was leased the
latter part of last year.
The new Golden Rule store will
handle exclusively dry goods, clothing
and shoes. Mr.. Otis stated that MIR.
Penny conceived the idea of chain
stores Is years ago when he.was en-
gagged in the mercantile business at
Kemmer, Wyo. In the first year of his
business. Mr.. Penny sold $29, 900 worth
offgoods. During the past year, ac-
c0rding to MIR. Otis, the Golden Rule
stores did business of approximately
$40, 900. 900. With the coming of sum-
mer the J. c. Penny Co. will be oper.
ating IT'S stores, at points on the Pacific
coast, in the middle west and as far
east as Pennsylvania.
"Mr. Penny is still young man."
said Mr.. Otis. ''lt was his idea. when
he began the promotion of his big
scheme, to get together at different
important trading centers managers
who were showing energy and ability.
The stocks are not owned absolutely by
MIR. Penny. One third of the stock of
all new stores is owned by the men
who manage the respective branches.
Thus the managers are tgiven the in
centive of making money for them
selves as we'll was for Mr.. Penny.
"The organization has become tre-
mendous one. We keep 10 buyers on
the New York market permanently,
having an Office located on Fifth av-
enue. We hold an annual convention
at Salt Lake, since it is centrally To-
Gated, and thus the managers are given
enthusiasm and pep by touching ell
bows with each other and transferring
ideas. Last year the Union Pacific Co.
and the New York Central system
