- Synopsis
- A nostalgic journey into the life of these Wisconsin shopping meccas—including photos and illustrations. For well over a century, Milwaukee shoppers have had Gimbels or Schuster&’s in their lives. Even if they didn&’t crave sewing notions or prize-winning apple pies, they were watching holiday parades wind by, tuning in for Billie the Brownie&’s radio updates, or losing themselves in front of one of the department stores&’ fabulous window displays. Not only were they magical places to shop but also wonderful places to work, creating the kind of community where a kid might come in to help out with the Christmas rush and stay for twenty-five years. Enjoy this loving trip through the history of these beloved stores, from their arrival in Milwaukee in the 1880s through the 1962 merger and beyond.
