J.C.
Penney opened his first Golden Rule Store, in Kemmerer, Wyoming on this day in 1902. His life credo was, “You can’t outgive God.” He proved it by building a
multi-million dollar commercial empire while always giving away ninety-percent
of his personal income to Christian evangelistic and charitable work.

My Dad worked for JCP for 43 years and met Mr Penney several times. Mrs Penney opened his store in Vero Beach Fl in the 1980s. I grew up knowing about Mr Penny's 90%
tithe & it had a profound effect on my personal giving habits.
