Strawbridge and Clothier
Strawbridge and Clothier
Philadelphia PA 1912
My Grandmother, Florence Powell, worked for Strawbridges
before I was born, into her retirement at 63.
Started at the downtown store and later transferred to the new
Springfield store.
Going to visit her downtown at work was always such a treat, the old department stores were so grande, she worked in the ladies uniform and clothing dept. Best part was riding the wooden escalators or the elevators with attendants in them to push the buttons and call out the items available on each floor. Plus we got to ride the el downtown.
Bardsley, Barycki
My jr high until the move to Clifton Hghts in 7th gradeBeverly Hills Jr High

Spring Mount, PA
I guess my Dad (William T. Bardsley) grew up in a lot of different places, he was born in West Virginia, but from the time I was born Spring Mount, PA was the family homestead.
