Kress, and Woolworth were all what was known as 5 and dimes back then. Now we have 99 cent and dollar stores Grant was still in business in Charleston, SC when we moved from there in Aug., 1970. Woolworth when out of business in the late 80s are early 90s. I am not sure of the time period of Kressl Hazel The roots of our family tree were planted deep in American soil. The trunk of the tree grew strong and it has many, many branches. Some branches are still bare and need your information.

Hi, Randy, W. T. Grant Company was a mixture of ' Five and Dime' and junior department store. It was a national chain which went out of business in the 1960s or 70s.I spent many happy hours shopping at department store such as Wellan's, Weiss and Goldring, and Schwartzberg's. There were several nice dress shops - I can't remember the names. The following site has some pictures and history of Alexandria. http://www.alexandria-louisiana.com/ Thanks.
