Big Chain Store To
Open in Camden
Some months-ago The Chronicle
made mention of the fact that the J.
C. Penney Company, nationally known*
chain stores operators, had leased
the building of Haruch-Nettles Company,
on Broad street in Camden.
The building has been vacated for*
.some time and will Boon undergo remodeling
to put the store-room in
shape for thjs big concern. No specific
date has been announced for the
opening of this store, but The Chronicle
has received from the headquarters
df this company, located at MO
West 34th Street, New York City,
the following information:
"Before the opening of. our new
store in your city we will conduct a
preliminary or institutional advertising
campaign in the effort to make
your citizens familiar with the nation-wide
service and character of
the J.'C. Penney Company organization.
' A few facts about our company
may be of interest to you.
"Founded April 14, 1902 by James
C. Penney, it transacted a gross business
of $28,898.11 during the first
year. Twenty-eight years later the
J. C. Penney -Company has become a
national institution with over 1,400
department stores in 48 states, with
additional stores constantly being
opened.
"Every J. C. Penney Company
store, is, in a sense, a local enterprise.
The manager becomes a per
manent resident in the community
and assumes his place in civic affairs.
Local clerks are employed.
"Buying for our stores is done by
our managers through the central offices.
You can appreciate the tremendous
purchasing power of so
many stores. It assures lowest possible
market prices. Our company
operates on a close profit basis.
"Our policy is to mark merchandise
at the lowest possible price consistent
with market conditions, rath-v
er than at an exorbitant selling price
which must later be reduced for disposal/'
