Your comments are both very touching, and important to me personally. The reason I maintain the Museum, is to put this (seemingly costa rica travel advisories insignificant) costa rica travel advisories information in front of the public to encourage the memory of these proud institutions. Your words: How many nice thoughts, costa rica travel advisories enjoyed very much, dealing with beautiful estate jewelry, and those were the days encapsulate costa rica travel advisories for me the greatness costa rica travel advisories of our former stores, costa rica travel advisories and how people related to them in so many ways, even to tears as you mention. I would ve liked to meet Gloria Swanson, too . . . especially since she was of Polish costa rica travel advisories extraction like my own family. Thank you for these kind comments. I am currently looking for enough information to include Gimbels Philadelphia stores in the Museum, as well. Best wishes to you! Reply Delete edwarddefranco 04 July, 2010 18:09
I remember shopping as a kid in Gimbels 33rd Street, Valley Stream and Roosevelt Field as a kid with my mom. It was just a nice store to go and shop and I always liked it there. Reply Delete Anonymous 24 September, 2010 11:31
Spent 10 of the best years ever working there. Met my wife and made life-long friends. Even my brother worked there and beame a real family to us in many ways. Really miss the fun of a big city retail store-pressure and all Reply Delete Anonymous 21 October, 2010 20:34

Living in Yonkers, my mom and I often visited costa rica travel advisories the Cross County Shopping Ctr.- Gimbels, costa rica travel advisories but the real adventure was a trip to the city and the flagship store, as a kid, it was overwhelming in size and actually fun to run through the furniture section, with the obligatory toy dept. stop... In my sales career in the int l. steamship industry, while doing calls in the garment district, overheard one person speaking to another on the street, ...Imagine, his own people killed him, perked my interest, and made it to Gimbels costa rica travel advisories sixth floor television dept. to see all the commotion over the assasination of Egyptian pres. Anwar Sedet...just as if it was yesterday, similiar to being a student at St. Casimir s School in Yonkers and the day Pres. Kennedy was shot... Reply Delete Karen 04 November, 2010 20:17
My first credit costa rica travel advisories card was Gimbels back in the mid 1960 s. They refunded me for a pair of knit pants that stretched in length when dry cleaned a year later. In the 1960 s this was a major event for me. Back in 1964 I walked costa rica travel advisories the Gimbels underpass to catch a West Side subway to my job. In the 1970 s I ascended Pennsylvania Station to enter Gimbels from a side street to purchase great breads costa rica travel advisories and nuts. My father always shopped at Gimbels at Penn Station and brought the goods home on the Long Island Railroad. Reply Delete Anonymous 20 November, 2010 16:54
Bill G: I worked as a group manager and then assistant buyer for Gimbels Budget Store located on the subway level of the 33rd street NY store from 1977 to 1981, right out of college. It was a great experience and I learned a lot about retail working there. I made some great friends among the buying staff, Bob D, Charlie B, Paul P, Steve P, Jeannie A and Diane R....you guys were great.

There were several Gimbels in the Greater Pittsburgh area also. There was a flagship type of store in downtown pittsburgh, South hills Village mall Bethel park/upper st.clair, Century III mall West Mifflin. and several other malls I don,t recall what malls the other locations were in.

Dear David: Please note that the other Gimbels divisions are given their own exhibits. The site is designed so that the list on the Welcome to the Museum page has links to each store by state and city. The exhibit for Gimbels of Philadelphia is not yet up and running.

Unfortunately, I am not in the resale business, and it is hard for me to direct costa rica travel advisories you to any help with a degree of confidence. The best I can do is hope that another visitor has knowledge in this area, reads your comment, and can assist you. In your favor is the huge traffic that this blog gets. Good luck.
