 “All Industry and all people in every walk of life, from the farmer to the rolling mill, and from the author to the maker of stockings, is only now coming into the full understanding that each man is both producer and consumer, and that the only path for producer and consumer is that joyous path of mutual helpfulness which is perfectly defined in the too much forgotten golden rule.”

James Cash Penney, Jr. started working for a small chain of stores in the western United States called the Golden Rule stores in 1898.  He went on to eventually own the stores which became known as J. C. Penney.

In 1940, Sam Walton began working at a J. C. Penney in Des Moines, Iowa. Walton later went on to found future retailer Walmart in 1962.

During the Great Depression, Penney teamed with Thomas J. Watson, President and Founder of IBM, Arthur Godfrey, the radio and TV personality; and Norman Vincent Peale, a minister, inspirational speaker, and author of The Power of Positive Thinking, to form the first board of 40Plus, an organization that helps unemployed managers and executives.
