When my mom emigrated from Germany in 1955 as a teenager, she worked at Vogt's Import Store at 12345 Gratiot [[south of McNichols/6 Mile, just south of The Little Cafe). It was a beautiful store in that German settlement neighborhood that sold china, crystal, Hummel figurines, Steiff stuffed animals, perfume, and all kinds of fine import goods. I remember going in there a few times as a small child.
Does anyone have any additional information about the business, especially if there are any relatives of the owner and/or photos anywhere?
