‘BOY, DO YOU NEED US NOW!’<\/em><\/p>\n

JCPenney<\/a> had a discount chain that operated in the 1970s. <\/p>\n

Similar to Target today, this odd Penney thing was The Treasury.<\/a><\/p>\n

With Helvetica logo in place, our local Treasury<\/a> moved into a former White Front<\/a> locale – had midnight madness sales, aisles of cool stuff. They even sold comic books. And had the best damn snack bar pizza ever.<\/p>\n

The chain didn’t last past 1981. Tho a new company – The Home Depot – opened their first locations in former Treasury digs. <\/p>\n

Big Boxes were soon to take over.<\/p>\n
