Penney Stores Gain 25 Per Cent While
Mail Order Houses Lose 81 Per Cent Saw

entirely lacking in the big mail order
concerns.
Cash Sales Only.
q. The Penney stores sell for cash
only.
5. The Penney stores do not de-
liver any merchandise to their Gus
toners.
6. The Penney stores derive all the
benefits that are to be obtained thru
large scale buying.
Mr.. Sans declared that the man
owning a single store should be able
to benefit in the same way, whenever
he is able to put the same principles
into practice. He doubted very much
whether this was entirely possible,
but in any case that is possible such
principles should have the same re-
suits.
Recommends Cash-and- Carry
For the small man to put his bust
ness on cash-and-carry basis might
often be difficult, he said, but if that
were done the benefits to be derived
. through resultant reductions in prices
should be great.
The element of personal interest
is not an exclusive feature but is one
that is shared by any man who oper-
ates his own store
Mr.. Sans doubted whether the small
merchant has been able to write off
his losses on his inventory with the
ease that a large concern like his has
been able to do but where it can be
done, he said, sales simply must be
increased.
Advertising is medium which the
one man store can use as we'll as the
largest chain store operator in the
country.
And although Mr.. Sans did not
comment on this particular point, it
has been sadi time and again by ex-
perts in the retail field that the one
man store can share in many of the
benefits of collective buying with the
chain stores through being represent
ed in the New York market by COM
petent resident buyer.

Believed To Be
Death Cause

DAILY Garment News)

J. c. Penney & Co., the operators Of
countrywide system of chain stores,
did Is per cent. more business during
the first seven months of this year
than during the corresponding months
of 1920, while Sears, Roebuck & Co.
and Montgomery Ward & Co., the
two leading mail order houses of the
country, suffered a loss of paproxi-
mately 81 per cent. in the same per-
iod, according to figures that have
been obtained by Daily Garment News.
E. c. Sans Explains
E. G. Sans, president Of J. c. PEN
ney & Co., when asked yesterday why
twas that in this period of depression
the Penney stores had increased their
sales so tremendously while the bust
ness Of the catalogue houses had so
greatly fallen off, ascribed the fact
IN part to the poor business conditions.
When business is flush," he said
"people are not so particular where
they buy and do little shopping around.
When business is bad they are anx-
ious to find out where they can OBJ
tain what they want at the lowest
price. Because we have pursued poll
'cies which permit US to sell at rock
bottom prices J. c. Penney & Co, has
,prospered through the depression"
Took $3,000,OOO Loss.
The chief points in the policies of
the Penney stores that brought this
about he said were:
l. That the Penney stores on Jan.
/ took a $3,OO0,O0O loss on their in
,ventory to make it possible to base
selling prices on replacement values.
2. That the Penney stores have de-
voted an increasing amount of money
to arouse interest by the public in
the values offered by them.
8. That the executives of each of
the Penney stores is interested in the
business and for that reason have
the same personal interest in their
stores which the man who owns a sim
gle store possesses. This, Mr.. Sans,
pointed out, is an element which is
