I remember Anthony's when we moved to Austin in 1953. It was in the Delwood Shopping Cntr.

I also remember our one and only Penny's back then. It was in downtown Austin, down on Congress Ave. in same block as Oscar Snowden's, a big appliance store where I bought my Pfaff 262 in 1968. Anyway, mother bought most of my school dresses there in that Penny's, if she didn't make them at home herself on her treadle. But what I do remember about the Penny's store is that the credit dept. was upstairs, and when you paid or charged it, the ticket and money was put in a capsule much like the drive up windows at the bank, only it rode up on a cable, not air pressure. Wow have we all sent ourselves down memory lane! I vaguely remember the fabric but it was there indeed because mother did buy some.
