Kress’s Fortunes
The generous man made a killing when he commenced his store chains named S.H. Kress. If you had to visit the organization’s website, you would see that its wares included happy and strong homeware. At one stage in American history, about 200 franchises were running throughout the country. Kress’s interests extended beyond retail, however, as the gentleman was also passionate about. Particularly that created during the Renaissance, of course, and he certainly had the funds to follow such interests.
The Generous Benefactor
The Kress Foundation was destined to begin handing out various artworks out of its collection to numerous museums and galleries throughout the United States. While many different organizations would gratefully accept many notable pieces, few would be as renowned as the suspected Rembrandt piece that Allentown received in 1961. Much excitement was generated within the locals when they found out that their beloved museum had received an esteemed artwork from one of the world’s greatest painters.
