2. In 1943, the Store Sold Airplanes
The store was reported in 1946 to have sold airplanes to customers. This, coming from a pre-Model T society in which almost 30% of the country answered a 1930 Ladies Home Journal survey saying that they expected to own an airplane at some point in their lives, is not particularly surprising. In addition to airplanes, the store sold full-scale model houses on its ninth floor.
