Penney Store An usual matter of note was ob served by the writer this week when it was found that three generations of the Firmage family are actively en gaged in the operation of the Ameri can Fork J. C. Penney store. William Firmage, father ot four J. C. Penney store managers, is acting as checking clerk. J. L., Firmage originator ot thirty-three stores In the J. C. Penney chain, Is manager, and Harold Firmage, son of J. L. Finn-ageTand Finn-ageTand a grandson of William Firm-age, Firm-age, Is breaking in as clerk at the Institution. The name Firmage is almost synonymous to that of J. C. Penney In this section of the country in the chain mercantile game. J. L. Firmage practically pioneered the J. C. Penney stores in this district having opened up thirty-three businesses for the J. C. Penney corporation. He entered the merchandising game when only 15 years of age in a Rock Springs, Wyoming, store. When but 20 years oJL age. he. took charge o. the dry goods department of the American Fork Co-op. In 1912 he opened his first J. C. Penney store in the Inger soil building on Merchant street. Following a few hard years of pioneering the chain store idea here he commenced to grow and after enlarging en-larging and branching out here he commenced to acquire Interests in stores in other parts of the state and country. When the merger of interests inter-ests of the J. C. Penney Co. stores came in 1927, he was part owner in thirty-three successful separate stores. Ills other brothers have also followed his lead and are heavily interested In the great J. C. Penney company organization. 0 Three Quarters Of A Million Chevrolets Purchased This Year e ..... .
