"The name Thomas Callahan may not be a household name, but the impact of his work has affected consumer America to this day. Thomas Callahan and his wife Alice, were instrumental in the development of Longmont and the Front Range. They moved to Longmont in 1889 and opened a dry goods store called, “The Golden Rule.” Training his employees the skills of retail, Thomas educated one of the most successful entreprenuers of the century, J.C. Penney. In 1899 Thomas helped J.C. Penney open his first store in Kemmerer, Wyoming. Thomas and Alice Callahan purchased this home from J.K. Sweeney in exchange for seventeen railcars of lumber. J.K. Sweeney would later use the lumber to construct a flourmill in Pueblo, Colorado, which to this day is still in operation. " (from (
