ARIZONA STATE BANK

No individual business concern,
regardless of size, has the same far
reaching effect upon the growth and
development of the community in
which it operates as does that of
rightfully conducted and managed
financial institution. No city is big
ger than it's leading financial institu-
ton, and vice versa, no banking insti-
tuition is larger than the community
which it serves. The success of the
one is closely bound up with the
other, and the development and pro-
gress marked by either is reflected
by both. So closely interviewer into
the commercial and civic fabric of
Winslow are the activities of the
Arizona State Bank and from it's very
inception, that the residents in this
district have come to look with
equal pride upon both, and as being
one and the same-inseparable. Frtm
the very beginning of it's activities
this bank has fostered every legiti-
mate enterprise, has helped and aid
ed community development, has ad-
vised the individual citizen along
constructive lines, and the residents
of this district owe an undeniable
and easily recognized debt of good
will and faith to this institution. The
basic principles upon which the
everyday business has been conduct
ed embraces much deeper under
tone than that Of mere dollars and
cents alone, and Service, in is
fullest and clearest meaning, has
been adhered to constantly in the
strictest sense. And, today, the
a
monument to the faith it's officers
and directors have had in the city
of Winslow and it's development. Not
only this, but this phenomenal growth
has been accomplished at the sacri-
flee of no single ideal and now the
Arizona State Bank has behind 1t
a banking record and a community
achievement of which it's manage
ment may well be pardoned for
being proud
The founding of the Arizona State
Bank dates back to 1916 in which
year the present Incorporation oc-
cured At the time Of it's incOrpor-
alton the bank took over the busi-
ness of the old Navajo Apache Bank
and Trust Company The bank was
founded by Mr.. T. NJ Quebedeaux,
now president, and who has had
active charge since the establish

WIN. III. DAGG MERCANTILE co.
Wholesale and Retail

The continuance in business of a
firm in any given line for over
twenty-eight years can mean but two
things first, that that firm has been
an unqualified success and second
that it has kept absolute faith with
the buying public. Such is the
proud record of the above firm which
has existed here with the name Dagg
continuously connected with it since
1895. This firm may be rightfully
termed the Dean" of business en-
terprises in Winslow, and which is
conceded to be one of the Oldest and
most reliable merchandising institu-
tions in this part of the Southwest.
There has been no mystery connect
ed with the advancement and expan-
sion of this firm, as it's success has
been founded upon that truism-busi-
ness goes where it is invited and
stays where it is well treated'

J. G. PENNEY COMPANY. INC.
A Nation Wide Institution

Commercial institutions like the j.
c. Penney Company, Inc, are a most
valuable asset to any community in
which they are located, and WinslOw
is indeed fortunate in being selected
by this organization for one of it's
chain of stores And, the advantage
they give to the public can be SUNNI
ed up in terse, concise and irrefutable
argument. The organization has a
tt tremendous buying power, power
measured in the wholesale and manu-
featuring markets in dollars and cents
alone, and brought to the direct ad-
vantage of the stores patrons. And
this organization, operating a chain of
four hundred seventy-five stores, buy
ing entire factory outputs in many in
stances, is in position to obtain con-
cession in price that even jobbers fail
to get. These low prices, in turn, are
reflected in every j. c. Penney store
in the low-priced commodities hand
led and gives the patrons every ad-
vantage the company obtains through
its worldwide buying power. The J..
G. Penney stores do business on a
well-defined basis, thus every saving
effected is benefited in by the custom
cess. 1t is meeting with popular
approval everywhere, which is best
exemplified by the phenomenal
growth of the organization. This
nationwide institution had its ori-
ginal inception in the little town of
Kemmerer, Wyoming back in 1892,
and was started by ]. G. Penney,
now at the head of the organization
fOx 1o.to er%A
started and E. G. Sans, then a clerk
in the first store, but now president
of the organization, took charge
Following the success of these two
stores, others were established until
+ now when four hundred seventy-five
stores are in operation in thirty
! three states. The year 1922 was
one of the banner years in the his
tory of the Penney organization,
and the gross business was just a
little under fifty million dollars 1t
is also considered by the manage
ment that 1923 will be even bet
ter year than was 1922.
One of the secrets OF success with
the j. c. Penney stores is the fact
I that every manager is in line for an
interest in a store. After he has
shown executive qualities sufficient
! to justify managerial ability, has
absorbed the spirit and traditions of
the Penney Oh Iganization, he is given
! mis- chance in a store. 1t naturally
| follows as a logical sequence and
! with his special training, and as
master OF his own business, his sue
| cess is assured.

CARL BEHN
OutfitterS For The Whole Family

One of the basic principles upon
which this Western country was
founded, and upon which it has pro-
gressed, has been the doing away
with provincialism. Today, in the
West, Milady is not confronted by
small town standards in living con-
ditions. This particularly applies as
to dress. The feminine shopper
may, in the West of today, have
brought to the town in which she
resides, for her approval, whether
she desires conventional, fashion
able or ultra-fashionable, the latest
in wearing apparel. In other words,
modern merchandising concerns,
managed by those who have had
years of experience in the matter of
the selecting of the choicest offer
ings, together with a stock that ap-
peals only to those who have a clear
understanding of the truism that the
lowering of price is ever at the sa-
tion), and to those who are willing
to pay for the best. and latest in
style, knowing full we'll Ito quote
another truism) that the best is al
ways cheapest, all of this has been
brought about by the establishment
of exclusive quality houses by keen
visioned business men in the West,
and at present the average Western
town, as compared per population, is
just a little more livable, offers a
little more accommodations, and is
altogether more desirable, from
standpoint Of contentment and mod
erness. than those of the East Per-
haps this is why the commercial
world of today looks at the pheno-
menal developments and improve
ments made in the West with amaze
ment. To those who think Of the
City of Winslow as a crude Western
railway town where living condi-
tions are in the raw. and the stock
ing of stylish merchandise is yet in
it's crudest stages, the establishment
and continuance in business Of the
firm of Carl Behn, "Outftter For
The Whole Family, certainly offers
a decisive refutation. A city Of dOu
BILE the population of Winslow might
easily point with pride to this estab-
Iishment, and it is invariably reve-
lation to a newcomer or tourist.
The firm of Carl Behn> was estab-
Usher here ten years ago under its
present name and Mr.. Behn has been
a resident of Arizona for the past
twenty years. Mr. Behn is one Of
the pioneers of the west, having
come to this country in 1878. Mr.,
Behn has been meeting the buying
public in different capacities since he
was a mere lad. Mr. Behn speaks |
several languages and is cultured
and we'll travelled. He devOtes his

No better barometer could be had
for recording the growth and devel-
Opment o. the WinslOw community
than is reflected in the growth and
expansion of this city's largest mer-

ty years ago and has shown a steady

THE OLD TRAILS GARAGE
Studebaker. Hudson & Essex

In this modern motor era city S
progressiveness is largely measured
by the number of better class auto
motive concerns, together with their
stock, equipment and service render
ed. And, more especially is this true
in the west transversed as it is with
numerous transcontinental automo-
bile routes and truly the land of the
tourists delight. This being true, no
other line of business eXerts such a
vital influence as regards favorable,
national publicity as does the estab-
lishment and conducting of strictly
down-to-the-ninute garage and auto
mobile houses. Distinctly of these
better class establishments, and one

THE BANK OF WINSLOW

Enterprise, supplemented WIN

ness institution, whether it be finan-
cial, industrial or commercial. Per-
haps in the history of the represent
