    Oh you took me down memory lane. As you were describing it I too was describing it in my mind. Then I remember her snipping the fabric with machine before ripping it. I'm so glad I was born when I was because it's so much fun to reminisce.
    Thanks for the reminder.

    I do remember one at Murphy's (5&10). of course I don't know a name, but it was like a meter. I was a kid at that time . how neat to remember stuff like that.

    Remember the stores that had a mezzanine? We had a nice discussion about the Measuregraph, pneumatic and cable canister transport systems, and mezzanines back in June, if anyone wants to reminisce more.

    The thread was called The Good Old Days - Remembering Old Fabric Shops and there were a lot of old bygone store names brought up.

    Seems like all the stuff we grew up with we did not like now wish we had. Guess we learn things the hard way. Like my grand kids say Gee-Ma tell me about the old days.
