1952-59 Ford Fords from the past.

'll have to go through some old family photos, I know we had lots of old Fords in the family.

 

Hard to say I like this, Ouch! I guess he really needs a "Wheel Alignment" now.

Back when a Dilly Bar was a nickel and twice the size.

 

Yup, and burgers were $.25.

 

Robert Hall, now there's a blast from the past.

Robert Hall produced its clothing in the U.S. mostly the lower Hudson Valley near Poughkeepsie and in North Carolina. Ultimately the offshoring of clothing production in the 1970s doomed the company when it failed to follow suit and was undercut by retailers like K-Mart and other similar department stores. These competitors offered only “ready to wear” garments (made in various sizes), whereas Robert Hall offered tailoring and customer services to****ure customers that the affordable garments they purchased actually fit them and could last a lifetime.

In July 1977, after losing more than $100 million in three years, the company entered bankruptcy proceedings. In summer 1977, all 367 Robert Hall stores were sold for $35 million.

 

Rare for our area a blizzard in 1960. HRP

 

My dad shopped at Robert Hall for dress clothes up to 1963 when died… A cut above some clothiers with better prices according to him.
