Aug. 2o to Sept. 7 ployed to speed service and simplify shopping, while adding to the general attractiveness of the modern interior. Next to the store, on the Cathcart street side, a 91-foot parking lot will be available for the use of customers, Mr. Jensen pointed out.

"Fortunately the new building has been completed in time for us to take care of our customers' early fall and pre-school needs," Mr. Jensen asserted. "Many of our departments have been especially restocked for the opening, with attractive and fashionably styled new merchandise and of course the additional space in this new store enables us to offer many new lines we haven't carried before." Featured on the first floor will be the following departments: Men's clothing and furnishings and women's furnishings and accessories, shoes, work clothes, piece goods, home furnishings, luggage, and a shop exclusively for boys. The balcony store will Women's ready-to-wear, millinery, sportswear, girls' and infants' wear, a cotton shop and a teen-age shop. The Penney manager explained that the decision to expand the store here was in accordance with the company's postwar aims in this area, adding, "Penney's now will be even better equipped than in the past to serve the people of Santa Cruz and surrounding area." The store is one of 136 in the Penney chain in this state.

Mr. Jensen joined the company in 1929 as a salesman in Santa Monica, later transferring to Long Beach and Huntington Park. He first came to Santa Cruz in 1935 and was assistant manager to H. A. Trost, 'who retired July 1, 1945.

Mr. Jensen was made manager of Lompoc, Calif, store in 1937 and in 1940 was transferred as manager to Colusa, store. When Mr. Trost retired in 1945, Mr. Jensen was transferred to Santa Cruz.

'v The development of the J. C. Penney company, of which the Santa Cruz store is a part, is one of the great sagas of American business. Its central figure, James C. Pennev, gives it a true Horatio i Alger flavor.

The first Penney store opened in 1902 in the frontier town of Kemmerer, Wyo. The town haft a population of 1000 and Mr. Ppnnpv harl S500 rash nrl an idea. i Hp pvnrrssprl his idea in thf name he Era vp his t.mv enterDnse- The Golden Rule Store. He wanted, he to give the public merchandise of higher-than-ordinary quality at lower-than-usual prices.

lie had other ideas, too. He would give friendly, considerate service; he would advertise honestly and without exaggeration or misrepresentation, and he would cut costs by selling only for cash, making no deliveries and eliminating other unnecessary costs of operation. For Mr. Penney, and the organization he founded, these were not merely phrases for wall decoration but the vital elements of a business philosophy. Guided by them, the company earned an enviable reputation, grew and prospered.

Last year, with a sales force of more than 70.000 in all Penney stores, total sales reached nearly $550 million a triumph of faith in the rewards of hard work and fair dealing. "Associates," as they have been called, rather than employes, recognize that they have a direct interest in the success of the organization, benefiting in many ways. To them the Golden Rule principle is today a living force animating all the company's relations, both within and outside the organization. It has been said that business men welcome Penney's to a community, even competitors. "Penney competition," they say, "is honest and straightforward." Penney people welcome this warm and friendly attitude, inviting the spirit of healthy competition so essential to a vigorous economy and for the ultimate benefit of the American consumer.

Today, the Penney company, serving millions of customers, looks forward to bringing a higher standard of living to even more millions at the lowest possible prices consistent with quality merchandise. The Golden Rule principles, Penney people say, will remain unchanged. The first national election returns broadcast by radio were those announcing the election of President Harding in 1920. I Store Manager Adrian J. Jensen is manager of the J.

C. Penney store here. Jensen urges Santa Cruzans to attend the opening day of the new store here Thursday at Pacific avenue and Cathcart street. tage For the first time since the summer of 1941 stage shows and revues will be the order of the day from the beach bandstand over Labor Day -week-end, Seaside company officials announced this morning.
