Busy busy! Now where did we leave off? Oh yes good old James Cash Penney. Here are some of the final illustrations for the story of his life, written by Jason Offut and published by Truman State University Press.
Young businessman J.C. Penney raising and selling pigs in his family's yard, much to the chagrin of neighbors.
J.C. as a young man, working at the Golden Rule dry goods store in Wyoming.
J.C also had an interest in raising prize winning livestock. Now that I look at this illustration for the first time in awhile, I realize both the men look related or like the same guy. Eesh.
J.C. going over accounts while his wife does some canning. Every penny had to count during the depression.
An older J.C. at a department store during the 50s.
