This week, Tidbits continues its examination of the history of some famous retailers. • Missouri native James Cash Penney moved to the

drier climate of Colorado on his doctor’s advice, as he was susceptible to tuberculosis. In 1898, he found work in a dry goods store called Golden Rule, and proved his worth in a short time. The owners asked Penney to partner with them in opening a new store in Kemmerer, Wyoming, and J.C. Penney opened the store in 1902. He bought out his partners in 1907, and in 1913, changed the chain to the J.C. Penney Company. Just four short years later, there were 175 Penney’s in 22 states.

• J.C. Penney lost nearly all his personal wealth in the 1929 stock market crash, but borrowed against his life insurance policies to make payroll until he could recover the company. By 1941, there were 1,600 stores in all 48 states. Penney’s introduced their own credit card in 1959. At their peak in 1973, the company operated 2,053 stores. Today, that number is 1,107. The original “mother store” in Kemmerer is still in operation, and has been declared a National Historic Landmark.

answers on page 11

* It was 19th-century French historian Edgar Quinet who made the following sage obser-vation: “Time is the fairest and toughest judge.”

* The Guinness brewery in Dublin, Ireland, has a 9,000-year lease on the property -- and the rent is a mere 45 Irish pounds per year.

* Researchers at Yale Uni-versity have determined that the most recognizable scent to American adults is coffee, fol-lowed by peanut butter in the No. 2 spot.

* In 1941, the British entered World War II, much to the relief of the USSR. One Soviet admiral was so grateful for the help that when a British naval captain on the submarine HMS Trident commented that his wife had a hard time pushing the baby carriage through the snow in Britain, the admiral declared, “You need a reindeer!” -- and presented the sub’s crew with one. Dubbed Pollyanna, the reindeer spent six weeks aboard the sub, where it reportedly liked to sleep under the captain’s bed. Pollyanna eventually ended up at the Regents Park Zoo.

* The state of Mississippi takes its name (unsurprisingly) from the river. But how did the river get its name? Ety-mologists say that the modern pronunciation is from a French variant of “meshi-ziibi,” which in Algonquian Ojibwa means “big river.”

• The J.C. Penney Company motto was, “Honor, Confidence, Service, and Cooperation.”

• J.C. Penney built Anchorage, Alaska’s first public parking garage in 1968, following the destruction of their store in the 1964 earthquake there.

• Nordstrom’s started out as a small shoe store in Seattle, Washington, in 1901. John Nordstrom had emigrated to the United States from Sweden in 1887 at age 16, arriving with $5 in his pocket. Although he didn’t know a single word of English, he managed to work his way to Seattle. In 1897, he headed north to Alaska to search for gold. Two years later, Nordstrom returned to Seattle, $13,000 richer. He partnered up with a shoemaker he had met in the Klondike, and the pair opened Wallin & Nordstrom in 1901, with first day sales of $12.50. Within four years, annual sales had increased to $80,000. In 1923, they opened a second Seattle store. By 1929, both Wallin and Nordstrom had retired and sold their shares to Nordstrom’s sons.

• By 1960, Seattle’s downtown Nordstrom’s shoe store was the largest shoe store in America, and

there were eight locations in Washington and Oregon. In 1963, the company branched out into the women’s clothing business. Today, the fourth generation of the Nordstrom family heads up the company. From its humble beginnings of one small shoe store, Nordstrom’s operates 289 stores in 38 U.S. states and one in Canada, with annual sales exceeding $12 billion.

• Kohl’s didn’t start out as a department store. The first Kohl’s was a Wisconsin supermarket, founded by Maxwell Kohl in 1946. In 1962, his chain was the largest of its kind in the Milwaukee area, and Kohl branched out, opening his first department store in Brookfield, Wisconsin, in 1962. It is now America’s largest department store chain, (having surpassed J.C. Penney in 2012), operating stores in 49 states.

• Aaron Montgomery Ward launched the nation’s first mail order business with a catalog of 163 items in 1872, a full 16 years before the Sears catalog appeared. By 1904, Ward was mailing a 4-lb. (1.8-kg) catalog to three million customers. He started his business in the loft of a Chicago livery stable, with $1,600 he and two partners had saved.

• Sears represented serious competition, and overtook Ward’s sales in 1900 with $10 million in sales compared to Ward’s $8.7 million. Sales had dramatically slipped by the 1960s and 1970s, and in 1985, after 113 years, the catalog division was closed. Today the Montgomery Ward brand is owned by Swiss Colony, Inc.

• A Montgomery Ward’s staff copywriter was responsible for the creation of Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Reindeer. Each year at Christmas, the chain gave away children’s coloring books to customers. In 1939, they wanted something new, an original Christmas storybook. Copywriter Robert May was asked to come up with a story, and “Rudolph” was the result. Two million copies were given to Ward’s customers that year. It wasn’t until 10 years later that May’s brother-in-law Johnny Marks set the story to music. In 1949, singing cowboy Gene Autry, made it the second most popular Christmas song in history, second only to “White Christmas.”

• Barney Pressman opened his first store in Manhattan with $500 he received from pawning his wife’s engagement ring. The Pressman

family retained a small percentage of the luxury store Barney’s until 2004, when, $500 million in debt, they sold out to a Dubai-based company.

• It should be no surprise that Walmart is the #1 retailer in America. Oklahoma-born Sam Walton went to work at a Des Moines, Iowa J.C. Penney store as a management trainee at age 22, just three days after his college graduation. Earning $75 a month, Walton stayed about 18 months before his World War II military service. After the war, he borrowed $20,000 from his father-in-law and purchased a Ben Franklin variety store in Newport, Arkansas. By the early 1960s, Walton and his brother owned 15 Ben Franklin stores. In 1962, Walton opened his first Walmart store in Rogers, Arkansas. Five years later, the family owned 24 stores, with $12.7 million in annual sales. Five years after that, there were 51 stores, with sales of $78 million. In 1980, there were 276 stores, and in 1989, Walmart became the nation’s #1 retailer. Today, the company employs 2.2 million people worldwide, ringing up more than 200 million customers each week in 11,000 stores in 27 countries.

• Sebastian Kresge was working as a traveling salesman, peddling to all 19 Woolworth’s stores in the late 1800s. He made the decision to open his own store and invested $8,000 (about $227,000 in today’s dollars) to open a five-and-dime in Memphis, Tennessee. By 1912, there were 85 stores, and by 1924, Kresge was worth about $375,000,000, which translates to nearly $5.2 billion today. In 1962, Kresge opened his first K-Mart store in Garden City, Michigan, a store still in operation today. In 2005, the K-Mart Corporation purchased Sears for $11 billion.

Q: Awhile back you wrote that “The Mortal Instruments”

was going to become a TV series, but I’ve seen nothing about that since. Is it still happening? — Ellie R., via email

A: Back when I reported that, everything was still in the begin-

ning stages of development, so there weren’t a whole lot of details. Finally, I can say with certainty that “The Mortal Instruments” book series will indeed be reimagined on the small screen as “Shadowhunters.” For those unfamiliar with the book series, “Shadowhunters” centers on Clary Fray, who finds out on her 18th birthday that she comes from a long line of human/angel hybrids who hunt down and kill demons.

ABC Family will air the 13-episode first season, with shooting expected to commence in May. There is no cast-ing or premiere date news yet, but just knowing that showrunner and exec-utive producer Ed Decter (“Helix,” “Unforgettable,” “The Client List”) is heading up the project makes me feel confident that the TV series will fare better than the not-so-great 2013 fea-ture film.

Q: I love the ABC series “Criste-la.” Do you know if it will be

back for a second season? — Geena F. in West Virginia

A: ABC will announce May 14 which series will be coming

back, as well as the new series that will debut this fall. I spoke with “Cristela” co-star Maria Canals-Barerra recently, and she is keeping a positive outlook regarding the future of her show.

“There’s a lot of thoughtful story-telling on ‘Cristela,’ and I feel really good about it based on how I feel about the episodes, the writing and the fact that the ratings have been decent. I’m very optimistic. Just because I’m in it doesn’t mean I’ve been blinded to it. I really do think I have some perspective because I’ve been in the business so long.”

As season one comes to an end, let’s

hope we get a second season, because Maria promises we won’t be disap-pointed: “There are going to be a lot of different dynamics to set up season two. I told the writers: “You guys are so good. The way you set up season two, everyone is going to be like, ‘I can’t wait to watch it.’”

***READERS: The folks at Fox have

been teasing for months, even years, about the possible re-exploration of “The X-Files.” I am thrilled to report that it is official: “The X-Files” will return to Fox as a six-episode event series. Series creator, executive pro-ducer and head writer Chris Carter is on board, as are series stars David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson. Mitch Pileggi will return as Skinner, as well as Annabeth Gish and Robert Patrick as Reyes and Doggett, respec-tively. Production begins this summer, with the series likely airing in 2016.

• Putting in your spring garden? To keep your fingernails from developing a dirt problem, use this classic tip: Rake

your nails over a bar of soap. It “seals” the gap underneath, and later when you wash your hands, the soap slips right out ... no need to spend time scrubbing out the dirt! -- JoAnn

• Add these to the list of items to eliminate the odor of cook-ing cabbage: a heel of bread, a whole walnut or a pinch of baking soda.

• Love beans but trying to save a little money? Don’t be intimidated by dry beans, just rinse them and chuck them in the slow cooker. Add water according to package directions and cook on low for up to eight hours. After they cool, you can bag them in freezer-safe zipper-top bags and freeze them for easy use later.

• Tuesday, April 14th- Milbank National Guard Track Meet at 3:30 pm. (April 21st on the schedule) • Wednesday, April 15th- Think and Drive presentation in Milbank. • Thursday, April 16th- 4th quarter midterm. Rosholt Invitational Track Meet, starts at noon. • Friday, April 17th- School is in session. Senior/Alumni Games at the hall. • Sunday, April 19-9am sunday school, 10:30 worship at hope Lutheran. All are welcome.

• If you keep a couple of crackers in your sugar jar, they’ll keep the sugar from caking.

• If you or your kids have trouble drifting off to sleep, try this aromatherapy trick: Spray sheets with a diluted lavender essential oil. Lavender is classic for sleep time.

• “To make the handiest long-handled garden tool, do this right now: Lay the tool on the ground (it can be a hoe, rake -- whatever you use most) and, using a tape measure, mark out feet and inches with a permanent marker right on the handle. Now, when you go to put plants in the ground, you can space them out perfectly by laying down your tool along the planting line.” -- C.O. in Arkansas

Early South Dakota History Timeline...continued1861 - Yankton is named capital of newly orga-

nized Dakota Territory. The territory includes present-day South and North Dakota and much of Wyoming and Montana. There's a replica of the Territorial Capi-tol in Yankton's Riverside Park.

1864 - The U.S. Army establishes Fort Wadsworth on the Dakota prairie. The fort is built to provide pro-tection to the new settlers in the region. Now known as Fort Sisseton, the army post stands as one of the nation's best-preserved military forts.

1874 - An expedition led by Lt. Col. George A. Custer discovers gold in the Black Hills. By 1876, gold

fever spreads throughout the Hills. Deadwood, one of the West's most famous mining camps, draws characters like Wild Bill Hickok, Calamity Jane and Potato Creek Johnny. They're buried in historic Deadwood's Mount Moriah Cemetery.

1876 - With a posse hot on his trail, Jesse James spurs his horse across Devil's Gulch, near present-day Garretson. The gulch is about 20 feet wide and 50 feet deep. Jesse takes the leap, as members of the posse watch in disbelief, and the notorious outlaw rides away.

DEAR PAW’S CORNER: How do you brush a dog’s teeth? And how often should I do it? -- Abby in Framingham, Mass.

DEAR ABBY: Brushing your dog’s teeth is impor-tant to keep them healthy throughout their life. But it can be a little different from the way you brush your teeth, and dogs don’t always like having it done. Here are some tips on brushing:

* Try to brush your dog’s teeth at least once a week, more if possible (especial ly for smaller dogs and breeds like Pugs).

* Use a brush and toothpaste made especially for dogs. Minty-fresh human toothpaste is pretty nasty to dogs, and could upset their stom-ach. A popular type of brush fits over your finger so that you can ac-cess the dog’s teeth more easily.

* Start slowly: Get your dog used

How to Brush Your Dog’s Teeth

to having you touch its muzzle and mouth, and lifting up its lip. Give it a flavored treat like the toothpaste you’ll be using: peanut butter or beef broth, for ex-ample. Or, give it a dab of the toothpaste as a treat.

* Start with one section at a time. Put a dab of paste on the brush, gently lift your dog’s lip, and brush downward from the gumline.

* If your dog struggles, pause and hold its muzzle lightly until it calms down. Then try again. If it really raises a fuss, stop and try again tomorrow.

* Don’t reprimand it for misbehaving. This is really weird stuff for a dog. Use a soothing voice and give it lots of praise during and afterward.

NOTEWORTHY INVENTORS:

JOSEPH BOMBARDIERWe owe the invention of the snowmobile to Canadian inventor Joseph-Armand Bombardier. But that was just a small part of this man’s contributions. Here are the facts on the inventor and businessman. • Quebec-born Joseph had an affinity for

mechanics from a young age. At 13, he fashioned a mechanical toy locomotive driven by a clock mechanism, and a steam engine created out of old sewing machine parts followed shortly afterward. It was the family’s hope that Joseph would join the priesthood, and in 1921, the 14-year-old was sent to seminary.

• When Joseph was 15, his father gave him an irreparable Model T Ford motor, which the boy soon transformed into the power behind an unusual sled, his first snow machine.

• Not suited to religious studies, at 17, Joseph began an apprenticeship at a Montreal garage and enrolled in night classes in mechanics and engineering. By 19, he had his own garage, and it seemed he could fix anything.

• In the winter of 1934, a days-long blizzard prevented Bombardier from getting his two-

year-old son to the hospital, and the boy died from a ruptured appendix. Joseph stepped up his efforts to invent a vehicle that could move over the snow. The result was a snowmobile that was steered by front skis and could carry seven people in its heated cabin. Within two years, he had built and sold 12 of his B7’s (“B” for bombardier, “7” for the number of passengers) to doctors, veterinarians, innkeepers, funeral directors, and schools.

• With the success of the B7, Bombardier expanded into military vehicles and he became

a major supplier for the World War II effort. After the war, he pushed ahead to improve his inventions, producing a 12-passenger snowmobile, which was an immediate winner with police departments, the timber industry, and mining companies. An 18-passenger model quickly followed, which was used by schools in the snowy climate of Quebec and Ontario.

• Bombardier was soon designing vehicles to undertake different terrains, such as swamps, bogs, and mud. Some had tracks for traction, while others had an interchangeable system of

wheels and skis. In 1953, he introduced the all-terrain Muskeg tractor, able to haul skiers up a mountain as well as clear roads. .

• Perhaps his best-known triumph came along in 1953. Using a lighter engine, Bombardier created the Ski-Doo snowmobile, a $900 machine for outdoor recreation lovers. Originally slated to be called the Ski-Dog, intended to replace the dogsled, it became the Ski-Doo when a painter misread the name and painted Ski-Doo on the prototype. Mass production of the unit began in 1959, and was immediately embraced not only by recreationists, but hunters, prospectors, surveyors, missionaries, and trappers as well. Bombardier’s company was enjoying annual sales of $3.5 million by the end of the 1950s.

• Along with his genius mechanical abilities, Joseph was devoted to community service and had a great love of music, singing in the church choir and accompanying his children on the piano. In the midst of an exceptional career, he died at age 56. Following his death, the family-owned business expanded into locomotives and aircraft, and today Learjet is one of their subsidiaries.

Q: A friend told me that the cords on my apartment bl inds weren’t safe, and that kids or my cat could get tangled up in them. I’m not sure what to do to make them safe -- should I replace the blinds? -- Val in Duluth, Geor-gia

A : Wi n d o w blinds manufac-tured for sale in the U.S. are re-quired to have a safety feature in-

stalled to prevent children or pets from getting tangled up in the pull cords. Older window blinds manufactured before 1991 may not have this feature.

The blinds’ manufacturer should include instruc-tions for cord safety. If you can’t locate them, you can find general information at websites like the Window Covering Safety Council at windowcoverings.org.

Look on the pull cords of your window blinds for cord stops. These are small round plastic discs threaded through the cords. Here’s how to use them to make the pull cords safer, from the WCSC (www.windowcover-ings.org/how-to-retrofit/):

1. Lower the blind to its proper closed length and tug the cords slightly to the right to lock them in position.

Childproofing BlindsBy Samantha Mazzotta

(Top) Threading a cord stop through the pull cord, with the cord end looped through. (Bottom) Installed cord stops.

2. To install a new cord stop, pinch together a section of the pull cord (near the top of the cord) and slide the plastic disc over the pinched-together cord so that you create a loop threaded through the disc

3. Keeping the loop large for now, bring the bottom part of the same pull cord through the loop and then tug it into a loose half-knot under the disc.

4. Adjust the disc until it is about 2 inches below the blinds’ head rail and tighten the knot. Repeat with the other cords.

5. The bottom of each cord shouldn’t hang past the bottom window sash when the blinds are closed. Shorten them by cutting each cord above the plastic tassel to a safer length, then re-threading the tassel onto the cord and securing with a knot tied on the end.

If you have young children or adventurous pets, con-sider replacing the blinds with safer cordless models as soon as possible.

TIP: A quick add to your advice on calibrating digital thermostats: Check the batteries.

If they’re worn out, the thermostat behaves erratically. -- Denis in Cedar Rapids, Iowa
