Did you know that Mr. Penney did not want to be known as a “Five and Dime” and that is why there are no dimes in our cash drawers?

That fact is very interesting to me, Jvette. Of course, now a “dime” from the old days is worth like three bucks — hard cash. But a nice shirt is now like $60, or the equivalent of two silver dollars’ current value.
