Christmas & the Penney-Missouri Awards

Throughout 1960s, the winners of the Penney-Missouri Awards (the top recognition for the women’s pages) received a telegram on Christmas morning. For those multiple winners, it was like a child waking up on Dec. 25th waiting for a knock on the door. Many of the women wrote letters about how exciting it was to learn they had won on Christmas.

Merry Christmas from Curtis!
