Lurie’s was a little remembered Schenectady department store at the corner of State and Ferry, which would have put it right in the vicinity of Barney’s. (It’s possible it was related to the M. Lurie Company of Amsterdam, and it’s possible it wasn’t.) They sold all kinds of clothing and fabrics, and gave away their own trading stamps. At least, until 1925. On January 3, they put the public on notice — they would redeem all Lurie stamps, but there would be no more stamps for 1925.
