Foremost and JC Penney

[Putt-Putt]

I know Bird Engineering made Mini Bikes for various distributors. But were "FOREMOST" / Bird Mini Bikes distributed by JC Penney exclusively?

Thanks.

"Foremost" was a JCPenney private label that they assigned to allot of products like tires, tools, paint, electronics etc... In soft goods they used Pencrest for things like sheets towels etc...

So if it was a FOREMOST it WAS a JC Penney?

Thanks.

The "Foremost" name

Thanks. All I remember as a kid about the "Foremost" name; was that their name was on Mini Bikes and Milk. Two things that every kid needed while growing up.

Foremost is also the name of the insurance company that sponsors Larry Pegram's race-winning Ducati superbike.
