Deny Rumor of Penney Merger Denied Here
Rumors that the J C Penney company had merged with Sears Roebuck were emphatically denied today by G B Fahrendorf manager of the Huron Penneratore quoted from a letter by E C Sams president of the chain. He said Penney executives have not discussed a merger with any Chicago mail order house and that initial studies on combining mail order with over the counter service will be completed soon. No steps toward merger have been made unless the survey supports further negotiations.
