out the en.iye growth of the com.
pany. i IN
From the modest start with one
store in 1916, the Western Auto
Supply Company grew to an organi-
zation of twenty stores in 1920 and
the business increased to an an
nual worth of about 100000.
This business was then incorporat-
ed and additional capital was sccur-
ed through the sale of stock, Il
large portion of it being purchased
by the employees of the company.
The business was then extended to
all the large cities and towns Ill
the west and grew with such rapi-
ditv that the l59th store was re-
Gently opened.
The growth of the company Is
actually the growth of an idea plus
determination on the part of one
man to see his idea through. The
indomitablc courage of George Pep
perline in rigidly adhcring to HIS
policies in TIE face of competition,
both fair and unfair, has resulted
in the building of business thar
had turnover of more than four
teen million dollars in 1927.
The twelfth anniversary will be
celebrated 10y the Western Auto
stores with an anniversary sale. As
token of the company 5 appre,
citation of the patronage that has
made its tremendous growth pos,
sible this money-saving sale of ac.
cessories and tires will be in effect
in all Western Auto stores from
