Item 2 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
         Results of Operations.


Financial Condition
- -------------------

The Company's financial condition remains strong, providing the Company
flexibility to continue its capital plans and take advantage of future
opportunities as they arise.

During the 1995 first quarter, the Company completed the acquisition of Kerr
Drug Stores, Inc. ("Kerr Drug"), a 97-store chain.  Under the terms of the
acquisition agreement, the shareholders of Kerr Drug received an aggregate of
1,764,705 shares of JCPenney common stock, valued at approximately $74 million,
in exchange for all of the outstanding shares of Kerr Drug common stock.  This
transaction was accounted for as a purchase.

Merchandise inventories, on a FIFO basis, were $4,241 million at the end of the
first quarter, an increase of 11.0 per cent from the level in the prior year.
Total inventories were impacted by the acquisition of the Kerr Drug stores.
Inventories for JCPenney stores and catalog were up 9.0 per cent, and are being
managed and adjusted in response to the lower than expected sales level in the
1995 first quarter.  The current cost of inventories exceeded the LIFO basis
amount carried on the balance sheet by approximately $247 million at both April
29, 1995 and January 28, 1995, and $246 million at April 30, 1994.

Capital expenditures for property, plant and equipment were $109 million in the
1995 first quarter, compared with $106 million in the comparable period last
year.

In the 1995 first quarter, the Company made a $104 million contribution to its
pension plan, which increased other assets.

Total debt, both on and off the balance sheet, was $6.3 billion at April 29,
1995, up $832 million compared with the April 30, 1994 level, principally due to
the Company's stock purchase program and working capital requirements.  In April
1995, the Company redeemed $165 million of its 9.45 per cent Notes due 1998.
The Company's debt to capital ratio was 52.5 per cent at the end of the 1995
first quarter, compared with 50.5 per cent at the end of the first quarter last
year.

On May 23, 1995, the Company issued $193 million of 10 year Notes under its
Series A Medium-Term Note program.  The Notes were priced at 100 per cent of
face value with an interest rate of 7.05 per cent.

As of May 31, 1995, the Company had purchased approximately 3.2 million shares
of its common stock at a cost of $139 million under its 1995 stock purchase
program.  Since March 1994, the Company has purchased a total of 13.2 million
shares at a cost of $614 million.  All shares were retired and returned to the
status of authorized but unissued shares of common stock.

On March 8, 1995, the Board of Directors increased the quarterly common dividend
14.3 per cent to 48 cents per share, or an indicated annual rate of $1.92, as
compared with $1.68 per share in 1994 and $1.44 per share in 1993.  The regular
quarterly dividend on the Company's outstanding common stock was payable on 
May 1, 1995, to stockholders of record on April 10, 1995.



Results of Operations
- ---------------------

Ratios useful in analyzing the results of operations are as follows:

</TABLE>

For the 13 weeks ended April 29, 1995, fully diluted net income per share
declined 27.4 per cent to 61 cents, compared with 84 cents per share in the same
period last year.  Net income totaled $156 million, a 29.9 per cent decline from
the Company record $223 million in the 1994 first quarter.

First quarter total retail sales increased 0.4 per cent to $4,367 million from
$4,350 million in last year's comparable period.  Sales from JCPenney stores
decreased 0.5 per cent, and catalog sales declined 4.3 per cent from the
comparable 1994 period, reflecting the consumers' response to a slowing economy.
Sales of the Thrift Drug store operation, including sales from the newly
acquired Kerr Drug stores, increased 18.4 per cent over the same period in 1994.

Gross margin dollars for both stores and catalog declined due to the weak sales
volume and increased promotional activity.  As a per cent of retail sales, gross
margin was 31.4 per cent, as compared with 32.1 per cent in the same period last
year.

Selling, general, and administrative ("SG&A") expenses increased 5.2 per cent
from last year's level.  The acquisition of Kerr Drug and higher costs of
producing and distributing the Company's catalogs impacted SG&A expenses in the
quarter.  As a per cent of retail sales, SG&A expenses were 26.3 per cent
compared with 25.1 per cent in the same 1994 period.

                                      -7-


Net interest expense and credit operations for the first quarter was a charge of
$17 million compared with a credit of $17 million in the comparable period last
year.  Finance charge revenue was $171 million, up $9 million over the same
period last year due to higher customer receivables.  Total customer
receivables, at $4.1 billion, were about $100 million higher than last year's
level.  Credit operating costs were $111 million, an increase of $22 million
over last year, primarily due to higher bad debt expense.  Net interest expense
was $77 million, up $21 million compared with last year's first quarter,
reflecting higher borrowing levels for working capital requirements and the
stock purchase program.  Higher short term interest rates also impacted interest
expense in the quarter.

The Company's life and health insurance business continued its strong growth in
premium income and profitability in the 1995 first quarter.  Total revenue was
$159 million, an increase of $21 million or 15.8 per cent over the comparable
period in the prior year.  Pretax income was $39 million, an increase of $4
million or 13.0 per cent over last year.  However, last year's first quarter
included realized gains of $6 million from the investment portfolio.  Excluding
these gains, operating profit in the quarter was up $10 million or 37.8 per
cent.

The Company's business depends to a great extent on the last quarter of the
year.  Historically, sales for that period have averaged approximately one third
of annual sales.  Accordingly, the results of operations for the 13 weeks ended
April 29, 1995 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the entire
year.
