Barney’s EOM Clearance

In 1973, H.S. Barney’s venerable establishment was also lurching to its death. The last of the great Schenectady department stores still west of the canal (Erie Boulevard), it still retained an air of down-at-the-heels class from its days serving the carriage trade, but single-store department stores were on their way out, and downtown department stores were even more on their way out. This ad would be Barney’s final spring E.O.M. clearance.

I would love to see a Barney card.
