One of the Bible selections in

Backed BY Experience
According to Scriven only the
years of nationwide buying and
merchandising behind Penney IS
make such outstanding bargains as
are being offered in the anniver-
sary possible. Experience in fore
casting price trends, markets, the
public IS wants, and conditions in
particular locations has enabled
the executives of the company to
supply needs of every community
in which a Penney store is locat-

In every department, for every
shopper, bargain after bargain is
available to fill spring needs, ac-
cording to heads of various depart
