| J.C. Penney, Lines of a Layman, 1956 |

That first little store I called "The Golden Rule."*
I've claimed that Mr. Penney would not approve of "Black Friday." By that I mean both the term, and the practices thereof. How do I know this?

*Do not get me started on that other retail empire begun by a liar, thief and former JCPenney associate, Sam Walton.
