I busted tires for JC Penney's (Ridgedale) for a couple-three months in the summer of '82. During the school year I was working P/T/evenings at the Target store (kinda-sorta) across the street doing the same thing (anyone remember when you could get tires, shocks, and oil changes at Target?), but they would only give me P/T hours during the summer. Had a friend who was working at the JC Penney's, and he put-in a good word for me.
Can't say that I recognize the battery, though.
