Summary

Description
English: The original JCPenney store location (Kemmerer, Wyoming, 1904–1929), still named the Golden Rule Store before the 1913 name change. It also shows the Opera House Saloon and a muddy street out front, with men apparently shoveling. Telegraph poles stand to the left, and horses with a cart stand to the left foreground.
Original caption: "
The Golden Rule Store, 1904: By 1904 the Golden Rule Store (no longer standing) had outgrown its one-room frame building off the main business district of the town. On August 1, 1904, Penney moved the store into the left side of the stone building shown in Photo ... He occupied a 25-by-140 foot section. It became a J.C. Penney store in 1913, and the Penney Company continued to operate a store here until moving to a new location in 1929.
