  • Part employment time in the 50's

    I worked part time for Thalhimers in the summers and during the holidays while I was going to Durham High School in Durham NC.
    Of course my family did a lot of shopping in the store, formals for the dances at school, I remember a little white fur cape as a wrap on a cold night, purchased at Thalhimers.
    Back then all of ther clerks were required to wear dark traditional dresses. Oh, how I miss those days. The women shoppers usually wore hats and gloves!
    I remember that Mr. Stone was the Manager of that store.
