My favorite store was Winklemans. I remember when I used to go with my mom, we would buy our hats there. What fun to choose one out among the many varieties of hats. The salesgirl would help out and then put it in a big hatbox. The hatboxes were very special and come to think of it, so were the hats!
Years later, the hats were gone. The helpful salesgirls were gone and Winkleman’s became a middle class store with lots of good sales. I used to go there after work to buy my clothes. And sadly…they stopped selling clothes and closed all their stores. It was a good one gone by the wayside along with Federals and Montgomery Wards. Along came Target, Walmart and eventually Amazon.
Time marches on.
