Penney's 1962 Q1 earnings rise with cautious 1963 outlook
Record shows 41 cents earned during the first three months of the 1962 fiscal year. Mr Batten predicted Penney’s sales for the rest of the year will continue to be strong. He cautioned that the 13.6 percent rate of increase of the first quarter is unlikely to be matched given favorable sales in the latter half of 1963.
