Actually the inventory story makes perfect sense. I have no doubt that is exactly what happened. Knowing these stories are what makes the family heirlooms even more special. What did your mother do at Elgin? Incidentally, SS Kresge opened his first store in Detroit, Michigan in 1899. In 1977 the company was renamed K-Mart and is still in business today.
