I sure can appreciate your interest. It's a tough business in many respects [[if merchandise doesn't sell quickly it becomes a bad investment). However, it's super exciting because one can see the...

dtowncitylover, did you ever or do you currently work in retail?

Hi Dtwoncitylover,
We offered both and with great frequency. There were many items sold with "Himelhoch's" labels inside [[i.e., coats and furs come to mind). However, we also offered many designer...

Hi Meddle,
I'm guessing it was the sixth floor, based on what I just learned from my dad. I know that the executive offices were on the 7th floor. My dad said that the 6th floor was not used as...

Thanks for your comments, and thanks for the ad! What fun to see fashions from the heyday years.

Thanks for your warm welcome, and thanks for your feedback on the website! I thought it might be fun to use colors from the former Himelhoch's box on the website, but was also concerned that it could...
