PENNEY COMPANY
ANNOUNCES new
ADVERTISING HEAD
John A. Fitz Randolph Says Local
Newspapers to Be Used More
Extensively Than Ever.

Crosby-John A. Fitz Randolph,
nationally known merchandising
and advertising authority has just
been appointed advertising mana
ger for the ]. c. Penney Co., ac-
cording to word received here by
R. S. McNeai, manager of the To-
cal ]. G. Penney Co. store.
Mr.. Fitz Randolph, who is a
graduate of Columbia College,
New York, and who is also a grad
uate Of the Fordham University
Law School of New York, has
been actively identified with large
organizations in the capacity of a
principal executive since 1916.
He comes to the ]. G. Penney
Co. direct from the office of gen.
eral manager of the Melville Shoe
Corporation, operators of the John
M. Ward, Rival, and Thorn Mean
Shoe stores. In this capacity he
directed all general operations, in
cluding personnel, advertising, dis
tribution, merchandising and costs.
In his capacity as advertising
manager for the ]. G. Penney Co.,
Mr.. Fitz Randolph will be in di-
rect control of the largest news
paper advertising campaign put
out in the department store field
by one organization.
The present campaign utilizes
more than 1000 local newspapers
in more than 1400 cities and towns
covering every state in the union.
In a communication sent to the
local J. c. Penney Co., manager,
Mr.. Fitz Randolph says, GAS a re-
tail dry good store institution or
ganized to bring the style and
quality products of the leading
merchandising centers to more
than 1400 cities and towns, the j.
C. Penney Co. is fully mindful of
its obligations as local store in
stitution in every town that it
serves.
"The local newspaper is the
strongest local force in the devel-
opment of the community and in
the activities of community life.
Throughout its entire history,
the j. c. Penney Co. has been a
supporter of the local newspapers
and our present plans include the
expansion of our expenditures for
newspaper advertising in all store
locations.
Modern merchandising, espe-
cially in the dry goods field re-
quires the ability to reach a ma
] tionwide market on extremely
short notice as important style de-
velopments take place.
"Women everywhere are fami-
liar with what is taking place in
the style centers of the world
largely through their local. papers
with their style news services and
the successful local merchant must
be able to tell the story of his
merchandise simultaneously with
the news stories.
tThe flexibility of control oi
newspaper space, the fact that the
newspaper is a local institution
serving local needs, and the fac
that every worthwhile home in th'
country now has its daily paper
are factors in modern merchandis
ing which cannot be discounted.

Norris of the Senate judiciary
committee, who has promised i'm
mediate action in his committee
on the labor injunction issue, as
soon as the tariff bill is out of the
way, has received from the Ameri-
can Federation of Full Fashioned

an amazing document in proof
that virtual peonage exists In

them to serve it for four years.
Violation of this contract would be
punishable through court injunc-
ton. Judge McDevitt has already
shown that he is ready to punish

ordinary civil rights, at the whim
of this company.
In a wire to Norris the union
said: Discovery of industrial Pc

he began. But Dulcy's blue eyes
were filled with tears, and her
lips were quivering.
"I didn't mean that, sweet
heart" he cried in q burst Of
tenderness, as she Sobbed that
she always did the best she
could. He didn't mean anything
except that he loved her, he told
; her, over and over. He would
never forgive himself for start
ing a quarrel today Of all days.
Eventually she cheered up and
said that she was sorry, too.

Dulcy looked at him aghast.
"Oh, no." she protested, Il

be such a marvellous chance to

The quarrel began again and
ended as usual, with victory for
Dulcy. Over all Of his protests,
Dulcy was there in the station
beside him when the train pulled
in. She was even more jovial
than usual when she explained
to the ForbeseS that the torren-
tial downpour was unusual for
California. She waved aside Mr..
Forbes gruif efforts to collect
his baggage and hurry to q taxi
and kept him standing in the
rain while she talked to him.
Gordon tugged at her sleeves,
but without success. Angela and
Mrs. Forbes stood by amazed at
this, cooling dove who dared to
stand in the path Of their rag

unconscious Of the sensation
she was causing, was delight

big old armchairs in your

member his mothers things
in just that same way. Tom,
we've just got to have a home
OF our own!"
Tom turned to look out into
the backyard, where his plants
were beginning to come up in
neat little pale-green rows.
The sunset wind stirred the
new leaves on the oak tree,
and a bird was singing some
where out in the lemon-colored
afterglow.
I'D have liked to buy this
house, just the same" said
Tom. If a grown man can
be wistful. he was wiStful then.
"It'S a good house." he said.
Its one fine dump!" Love
joy contradicted him.

furniture I want!" she told

The last Thursday in May was
cold and wet and windy.

running through the backyard
wrapped in a blue-gray cape.

her head by the rain when she
came bursting into Hilda's

door, and ordering the driver
to hurry.
"You see."
Gordon turned TO her grimly.
It must be-. obvious to Dulcy
now that Forbes was not the
sort Of man she could handle.
The harm she had already done
might be hard to repair, but
at least Dulcy would stop In
terfering after this rebuff.
"I see everything" she
cl1uckled, exultantly.
Gordon looked at her in utter
bewilderment. But still hope
full, he announced, "and after
this you can just let me take
care Of the Forbes business.
You won't even need to see
him again."
Dulcy looked at him a little
pityingly, as if he couldn't un-
derstand the magnitude of the
occasion or her part in it.
"Oh, no, Gordie," she ex-
planned. Angela has prom
ised to bring him down next

lesSly. How on earth
could she get Hilda out of

The rain was beating against
the walls Of the house like q
shower Of bird-shot, and the
cutters were running rivers.
And Hilda could be as i'm
movable as. a block Of stone

to be.
"I couldn't ask Sam to my

cause AL had a sore throat

She had; she admitted 1t.
In his fury he didn't dare
trust his hands when her neck

down the road. The hum Of
the motor was drowned out by

hers answering it. you did"

like a couple Of katydids.

their average would still be

You're even trying to in

told you about 1t. Just because
you met his daughter Angela
when you were in Connecticut
last summer was no reason for
suddenly writing to her as If
she were your long-lost twin
sister,"
It made him no happier to
notice that .Dulcy was per
fectly calm. Desperately, he
went on:
That deal is the most impor-
tant development that has ever
come UP in my business and it
win have to be handled very
tactfully. No, YOU just let me-"

They. started out early the
next morning in Aline's luxu-
RANT little car.
For two weeks they shopped
every morning.
You may as well buy the
best things they have" Aline
advised Lovejny every now and
then when Lovejoy would hest
tate between a chair that cost

ITS silly to buy cheap things.
They don't wear"
But Lovejoy could not have
bought cheap things in the
Aircraft Furniture Galleries if
she had wanted to.
For everything was expen-
Sive. And by the end of the
third week in May she was
afraid even to think of what
the bills would be when they
came in. The thought Of thtm
kept her awake nights.
Another thing bothered her.
Tom had made his garden in
the backyard and almost every
night in the week found him
at work there until dark.
The little house drew him
like q magnet these May nights.
He would come rushing home
at half past five so that he
could play with the baby for a
half hour before his bedtime.
Young Tom was a lovely baby
at nine MONTHS plump.
rosy, cheerful baby who looked
like the babies on the covers
Of women's magazines.
He's as husky as they come,
isn't he?" Tom asked one
night when he brought him in
from the backyard in his buggy.
IT'S been fine for him to sleep
in that sun-room, and tile back
yard is going to be q great
place for him this summer.
I'm going to put a gate across
the driveway so that that police

yard, and young Tom can have
his nap out under the trees
every bright day, can't he?"
Lovejoy shook her head as
she took young Tom from him.
Not under those trees" she
said gravely. I'VE aren't going
to stay here, Tom. We can't
Tomr I should have told you
that we couldn't long before
you started your garden. Tom,
I've taken that house on the
corner"
THE house I told you I
couldn't afford to rent?" asked
Tom. He shook his head as if
he couldn't believe what she
had told him.
You. can afford it!" Love-
Joy cried. You're making lots
Of money lately, Tom. You've
been talking about buying this
place, so YOU must have some
money put away in the bank.
And I don't want this
place! I want a good house
and some furniture of our
own. Why, the baby has never
even had a bed of his own
just that old crib that was
bought for some other baby
that slept in that room before
he did!"
That last thrust went home.
=. For the baby had become
the pride Of Toms life durs~g
the last couple Of months. "a
would make funny eager little
noises when he heard Toms
voice. and he would hold out
his small fat hands and beg
Tom, In his baby way, to take
him whenever he came near
him.
Eyes, suppose we ought to
have our own furniture" Tom
agreed, instead of buying this
stuff that's in this house"
"Of course we ought to!''
Sudden relief Shone in Love-
Joys lovely flushed face.
