Forwarded from cpurcell1@cox.net : Hi Jim; I took another direction trying to get information about your grandmother's career at Gimbel's in NYC. I found a website that collected historical information on the retail industry, especially those well-known store names that fell by the wayside. The person I communicated with could offer no help, but suggested contacting the NY papers, which he thought might have a 'companion' story about your grandmother. I would have to hazard a few guesses about papers that were in business in 1917-19 who are still around, but the NY Times would be on the top of the list. I don't know when the Post and News and World Telegraph were in business, but perhaps there's a repository of stories at the NY Public Library on Fifth and 41st-42nd Streets. I'd even hazard a guess that somewhere there is a microfilm/microfiche if one or more of the papers did a story. I'll keep looking for some thread and let you know what, if anything, I dig up. Regards, Larry Purcell
