The Golden Age of Shopping

Which was more glamorous -- riding the elevator (with an operator!) or your first few tries on the escalator? Remember Halle Brothers, May Co., Higbee’s and the Sterling Linder Christmas Tree? From trucks that delivered your purchases the next day, to dining in tea rooms, shopping downtown was definitely a dressy affair. Come to the Gates Mills Branch Library and delight in this look back at the height of downtown elegance and elaborate holiday displays. Registration requested for this free program (440-423-4808)
