Description

Needless to say the times when shopping meant white gloves, suits for men and leisurely lunches in tearooms? Toledo, an industrial powerhouse and Ohio’s third-largest city, once had it all, and Lamson’s, the Lion Store and Lasalle’s were where it all happened. Reminisce with writer Bruce Allen Kopytek about a time when these three great department shops dominated Toledo’s retail scene and offered their customers the rest they may want. Revisit their downtown competitors like Tiedtke’s, B.R. Baker, Milner’s and Stein’s, which also added their very own touch to Toledo’s life. Through written history, photographs and personal recollections a lost era involves light–an era when business was once personal and local and shopping was once more of a cherished event fairly than a chore.
