Bumping this up, my existence wouldn't have happened without Harry Coffee and the downtown store, that's where my parents met. My mother went to work there after the war selling clothes and would sometimes be seen in the Bee's ads and Coffee's fashion shows as a model; most of the clippings I have date from '52'-'54. I remember growing up that it was always 'Harry Coffee's' not the regular name and dad's closet of suits all came from there. I still have some Florsheim loafers I bought at their Fashion Fair branch in the 70's that still fit and still look great, well 70's great.
