American businessman and entrepreneur (1875–1971) who built a chain of eponymous retail stores and pioneered employee profit sharing. TLS, one page, 7 x 10, personal letterhead, January 11, 1956. Penney writes to Mary Margaret McBride of New York, in part: “I appreciate very much your note, and the fact that you would like to call to get material for an article about me. Though I travel a great deal, I very often see and read your column, which is always so interesting. These articles, like your broadcasts, are so homey and practical that I feel very flattered that you want to write an article on my life…I plan to leave with Mrs. Penney on January 25, on a three months’ trip to the Far East…I also have been asked to visit various business, agricultural, and religious centers there to give some talks on Christian principles in business and the democratic way of life…So, do try to see me before the twenty-fifth if you can. Believing that you will find them of interest, I am enclosing reprints of the following: ‘These Men From Wyoming’ and ‘Loosen the Tension—Live Joyfully, Dr. Peale Tells Admen,” adding a post-script in blue ballpoint, “From information I have just rec’d—I gather—that a letter of congratulations—may soon be in order, J. C. P.” Cloth-matted and framed, with a photo of Penney and a descriptive plaque which references the recipient of the letter, Mary Margaret McBride, who “was considered one of the most popular women on radio with talk shows beginning in 1934,” to an overall size of 29.5 x 18. In fine condition. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope. Oversized.
