Meer oor hierdie e-boek

Once upon a department store, Gable's was the place to shop, eat, meet, and be seen in downtown Altoona, Pennsylvania. Now, the classic store has come back to life in the pages of this one-of-a-kind book. For the first time, the whole true story of Gable's, its leaders, its employees, and the shoppers who loved it has been told, complete with secrets and inside stories from those who knew it best. You'll never forget this trip through a century of retail history, from the store's humble beginnings to its glory days to the thrilling fight to save it from going out of business. Hundreds of rare photos and images, never before gathered in one place, will take you back to the people and moments that made Gable's great, and carry you forward to a modern-day reunion of Gable's employees and a VIP tour inside the Gable's buildings as they stand today, complete with yesterday's treasures. Discover mysteries and surprises that have never been revealed to the general public until now. Relive the story of a lifetime on a magical journey straight out of your favorite memories and dreams. If you've ever longed to return to the department store where you always felt at home, or you just crave a simpler, sweeter place where the malteds are always delicious and the customer is always right, step inside. You're invited to the grand reopening of the store that comes to life every time we remember...The Glory of Gable's!
