My mom used to take me to an old family " dry goods" store called " Mara's" ... that being the family name. 2 brothers, sons of a tailor, who began the business after the war (Ww11). It was deep and narrow with rolls and bolts reaching high on the walls on shelves to near ceiling. The show window, protected by amber colored plastic to avoid sun damage) featured the latest new selections. There was a mezzanine with a bridal dept. and office ( the latter had a window overlooking the shop sales floor). I still remember old Tom Mara with a measuring tape worn around his neck climbing on the rolling library ladder to reach something a patron pointed out.
