Information about the history of Younkers is available at the links below. I have no idea as to the accuracy of the information.
In case you don’t know anything about Younkers stores, they were probably ***the*** department stores for many of us growing up in the Midwest, at least for me in the ’60s and ’70s. (Anymore, for customer service and a few other reasons, I seldom step foot inside any Younkers store.) The Gates department store in Fort Dodge was a nearby favorite, as well.
