The first floor of Penney's as seen from the stairway to the rear balcony. The store also had a third floor which extended from the approximate edged of the balcony to the front of the store. There was also a balcony at the front which was used for offices. The bill and payment were placed in a pneumatic tube and whoosed to the office. Receipt and any change due were returned the same way. For additional information see Bremer County Independent, December 16, 1982.
This photo along with many others was made from negatives in the newspaper archives which were donated to the Waverly Public Library.
