From One Small Store To
 A Nationwide Institution

How long since your first store was started?
 That is question we frequently hear in our stores. Perhaps the same ques- tion has come to your mind. We are grateful for that inquiry, because it con- vinces us of your sincere desire to know more about us, our methods, and our growth.
 Our first store was opened in 1902, at Kemmerer, Wyoming Small though that store was, it was instituted with the idea of giving the greatest possible ser vice, and asking in return the least pos sible profit
 The few years that have passed since 1902 have brought most gratifying re- wards from our many thousands of ap- preciative patrons.
 Our rapid growth from one to two hundred ninety-seven stores is convinc- ing evidence that our policy meets with popular approval to nationwide ex- tent.
 Buying in vast quantities for cash, eliminating middlemen's commissions al- most entirely; selling for cash, and at or other needless expenses; content with small profits; these are some of the req sons of our growth from one small store to A Nationwide Institution.
 It is undeniably true that our store in your vicinity is decided benefit to you in many ways.
 It is a good habit to buy constantly at this store, because the greater our growth, the less our operating expense.
 Therefore, the more you benefit by our service.

would that men should do unto you, Do you even also unto them" is our slogan and we have tried to live up to this standard in our everyday deal- ings. We want your patronage, but that is not all. We want to feel that we have given you a dollars worth of merchandise for every dollar you spend here. We have not employed exciting schemes to attract trade. This large increase is due to the fact that sell good, substantial mer chandise. Just simple, plain method of selling a better quality of merchandise for the least pos sible price. We are sure our old customers can see large increase in the volume of our busi- ness. The reason is, we have passed through the School of Experience, sometimes called the School of Hard Knocks. We have stood the acid test and our customers and friends believe in us and are boosting for our success.

In buying from the J. C. PENNEY COM PANY, you will find very noticeable reduction Tn the price of many commodities. Our buyers in St. Louis, St. Paul and New York City are daily in the market. Just as soon as lower prices are made by the manufacturers, they imme diately reflected in our own selling prices to you
 You do not have to wait weeks or months be- fore you can obtain full advantage of the new val ues. During the course of the war, with prices continually rising, the last to raise oul own to you; now that the market on many lines has broken, we are the first to reflect them to customers.
 The present value of an article of merchan- disc cannot be compared with its former high price and the result termed "Sale." We never hold "Sales"-but your dollar will buy much and more in our stores from day to day.

THE OVERALL CRAZE.

Radicalism and eccentricities have
ever been close affinities. The ma
tion is pestered with. BOTH, The
Iespotism ot the super-patriots is no
more severe than the notions Of the
faddists are ridiculous. Now comes
the overal II craze, and a craze it is.
Think Of beating down the high cost
OF living by wearing the blue jeans
Of the proletariat. How it must
make the sugar sluttons squirm, the
meat hogs shiver and the wool
pirates run to cover.
The. manufacturers of overalls are
far behind in, their orders. Car
ments which once retailed for 81 a
pair are now selling for from $3.50
to $500. The workingmen have
been paying big prices for these
work necessities. Now the fadtlists
are wearing them. The demand will
increase and naturally the price will
shoot further skyward. The work.
ing people must wear overalls and
they will have to pay more. That
is all there is to 1t and that is all
that will come out OF this overall
craze. It will do nobody any good,
but it will result In 4 lot of injury
to the workers and their families.

GIVE US ANOTHER CHANCE.

Give us another chance to vote on
the purchase of the property Of the
Duluth Street Railway company.
The submission of the question at
the June election will not cost the
people any additional money, and it
will give few of US jealous M. O.'s
a chance to tell the people how they
can avoid an extra tax Of one cent
every time they mount. q street car.
A city-owned street railway can
and will carry passengers on street
cars at profit for five cents. 1t
will do more than that. It will work
with the city officials to extend the
service to the parts that are now
without service. 1t will put more
money into the city treasury than
is now being put there by street
railway taxes. That is the history
of city ownership in Seattle and San
Francisco, and Duluth is a better
street railway town than either of
these places.
. Give US a chance and we will tell
it to the people. Put up an ordi-
nance authorizing the commissioners
to acquire the Duluth property of
the street railway company by pur-
chase or condemnation. Let the
campaign be carried to the people.
Don't ham-string them or the COM
pany? The defeat of the six-cent
ordinance will bankrupt the COM
pany, its officers declare. The pur-
chase of the system will save it.
That is what we propose to do and
at the same time continue to carry
street railway passengers to the
tune of five cents a ride.

LABOR WINS SEVERAL !
ELECTIONS IN Illinois

for any OF the objects which are worth
In the second largest city of Hin
nois, East st. Louis, labor has elected
all the candidates it nominated for
city office. The labor candidates in
many other cities and towns in the
same state also were elected or pol1ed
surprising votes.
In Belleville, a city Of $1,000 in
1910, labor captured all the city Of
fices but two Of the seven positions
on the board o: aldermen, and these
were lost by two and live votes, re-
spectively. Harrisburg, city Of $500
in 1910, will have a full set Of labor
officials. The same is true OF Edo
RADIO, 4 town Of $500. Georgetown
elected coal miners to Nll offices up
for. election. Centerville, Colesburg.
Centralia, Collinsville, Benld are 9TH
or places where labor Won al, or
nearly all, tho offices.
In Chicago, on the other hand, the
two labor candidates for alderman
were badly beaten, although they in
creased their votes obtained by labor
in the previous election.
These Illinois results, together with
the recent labor victories in Iowa ci-
ties, are evidence Of the growing con-
viction among voters that old
machine politicians are unequal to
the problems which the people face.
