Penney Stores Grew
From $500 Capital

From an original investment OF
500 dollars cash to a business handl-
ing some two hundred million dol
lars annually is the success story
which Mr.. Robert w. Bruere has
Just written in the biography OF
Mr.. j. C. Penney, founder of the
j. C. Penney Company.
THE MAN WITH A THOUSAND
PARTNERS is the current choice
of the Business Book Of the Month
Club.
Mr.. Bruere has effectively por-
trayed the directness which is char
acteristic of Mr.. Penney and the
doggedness with which he stuck to
his guns when he was convinced
that his principles were right. Inc
story tells how, at the age OF elght'
he raised pigs, then grew water
melons traded horses, and raised
cattle. At the age of seventeen, ne
began his training in a Department
store at $2.27 per month.
He opened his first store at
Kemmerer, wyoming, in 1907 WIN
o cash investment of five hundred
dollars plus his I. o. U. for twenty
five hundred more, which entitled
him to one-third ownership IN the
store Kemmerer was a mining
town. it's stores operating on a Gre
dit basis. and Mr.. Penneys CASH
and-carry plan was regarded as III
tile short of business suicide. his
store was known as the GOLDEN
RULE STORE, and his policy OF
"one price and the best service" to
all customers was viewed with skep-
ticism by fellow merchants. One OF
Mr.. Penney's first ambitions as
store owner was to break away from
the unjust principle of taking as
much as a customer could be made
to pay for merchandise, regardless
of it's value to him.
His gross sales the first year were
$28, $4,000 and he succeeded in pay
ing off his I. 0. U. and started off
his second year with a clean slate.
There were no short cuts to success
in this first venture. The floor had
to be washed, the shelves busted,
the merchandise ordered, unpacked
and sold by Mr.. Penney. 1t was work
of the hard, honest, matter-of fact
variety.
The greatest of Mr.. Penney's
guiding principles had it's nucleous
in this first store experience. He
has said.
1.-The fact that I was given an
opportunity to acquire a one
third interest in the Kemmerer
store fired my soul with ambi-
ton. Placing responsibility upon
my shoulder and expecting re-
suits of me brought out the best
that was in me. It was here
that I had the inspiration for
a chain of stores and worked
out the principle of cooperative
ownership"
One of Mr.. Penney's first asso-
cites was Mr.. E. C. Sans, now pre-.
sident of the j. C. Penney Company.
AS soon as he was ready for the
managership of a store, he was
launched in a store of his own. un-
der the part-ownership plan, He, in
turn, trained associates and sent
them out into stores of which he
retained part-ownership. And thus
the chain grew.

MAJOR WRIGHT
 WILL INSPECT
 AIRCRAFT HERE
Announces Stricter Adher ence to Regulations
 Will Be Required

To inspect local aircraft, and later go to Ketchikan in like mission, Maj. Wiley B. Wright, In- spector of the Aeronautical Divi- sion Of the Department of Com merce, arrived here this morning on the steamer Alaska. He was accompanied by Mrs. Wright. They will remain here one week before leaving for Ketchikan and. after inspecting the planes and personnel there, will proceed to Seattle where Maj. Wright makes hls headquarters.
 He inspected approximately 50 planes in interior and central Al asAa communities, visiting Fair banks, Anchorage, Seward. Valdez and Cordova. Of this number five were grounded on account of need for minor repairs in order to bring them up to the standard required by both the Territorial and Federal laws and regulations.
 Hereafter, Maj. Wright said, air transportation companies carrying passengers in Alaska will have to meet all the requirements and in- spections will be made more fre- quently than in the past in order to bring about observance of the rules. There has been, on the whole, lack of observance which has hurt air transportation in AL aska. Some of the interests have dcne everything required but most of them have been negligent in some respects.
 Inspections in the future will be made semi annually. It is expect cd they will occur in June and Mo- venber, so that both summer and winter flying conditions may be studied.
 While here Maj. Wright will confer with Gov. Parks on future policies and on the conditions in the industry generally.

Unusual Crops Of Past Year,

Every indication points to
the fact that each bank in

clare it's usual dividend this
year.
Being an agricultural county
the unusual crops of 1881 have
given these banks an aid that has
not been apparent in many places
elsewhere. Bankers in the coun
ty say that if 1882 shows a nor
NAL crop year, the banks of the
county will round out a year of
unusual deposits. covering of out
standing liabilities and increases
in cash resources.
While there have been some
slight Withdrawals in savings &C
counts in two banks in the coun
ty, not sufficient to affect proper
balances, checking accounts have
vastly improved within recent
months.
Cash on hand is shown in all
banks, except one, to be greater
than at the beginning of the
year 1881. The one exception Is
q bank that does a large tran
