Happiness, now 25% off. Icons of modern consumerism, the shopping mall is and will always be the best place to squander our youth. We are mallrats.

Retail Memories - The Big E Hillsdale
I *LOVE* this ad. Many thanks to a loyal fan for sending it to me. There is nothing more I remember of The Emporium than the giant "E." Always a site at many West-Bay Emporium Capwell locations until the very end.
Nevertheless, it looks as if The Emporium joined Hillsdale Mall in September 12, 1962. And late-night shopping until 9:30!
I was surprised to find Macy's preceded The Emporium by nearly 8 years at Hillsdale! What took The Emporium so long?

Such a cute ad. Emporium's not a s big on specifics as Macy's was, but it's just as effective.
