JC Penney: Maybe It's Depressing Now, But It Was Obviously a Nonstop Party 30 Years Ago!

     You may recall a post from a month or so ago in which I recounted the bleak, cheerless, despair-inducing effects of walking into a JC Penney store. 

     How things have changed.  Check out the following excerpts from a 1977 JC Penney catalog.  These models are offering up outfits that will guarantee you a refreshing lifestyle of 24-hour satisfaction and delight!  Thanks to Grotto friends Johnny D. and Lindsey B. for forwarding to the Fashion Dept.
