Here is something interesting I learned about years ago:
http://www.penneyretirementcommunity.org/default2.asp?active_page_id=928
“Penney Retirement Community was founded by J. C. Penney in 1926 for Christian people whose lives had been devoted to Christian service: Pastors, missionaries, YMCA and YWCA workers, and Christian workers. All Christian denominations have been welcomed from the earliest days.”
I read once that J C Penney tithed 90 percent of his salary.
Well that’s interesting. I did not know that.
