La Crosse, Wisconsin - circa 1965
Just an old shot I like a lot. The mannequins keep a watchful eye on us here in the Erickson Merrill Woolen Mill Store, "La Crosse's newest and most modern clothing store", as the back caption reads. Really love those swanky floor tiles, especially!
Oy, that floor! Hey, it matches the clothes!

Yeah but it's a good hurt, aint it? ;)
ReplyDeleteActually, call me crazy, but I LIKE the clothes!
ReplyDeleteThat place looks like a ski lodge on top and a supermarket on the bottom.
ReplyDeleteCome to think of it, Steven, the floor did remind me of the floor at the local Jewel i stop at from time to time.
ReplyDeleteWait, the woman in powder blue is a mannequin?
ReplyDeleteDear god, they made them, ahem, very well endowed back then!
I first thought it was a woman wearing a cross your heart bra! Lift and separate!

Being reminded of what these places used to look like growing up too!
ReplyDeleteI'll bet some girl with hip, expensive taste had to go here with her mother to buy ugly clothes. I can see it now.
ReplyDeleteWow. That is CREEPY.
