The Department Store has been around for over a hundred years, and I remember as a child (in the 60′s, not a hundred years ago!) visiting these huge (to me) establishments and being overwhelmed by the sheer volume of goodies on display. Of course, for myself and my two brothers, these visits revolved around how quickly we could get to the Toy Department, in the hope we didn’t go home empty-handed!
I now however, wonder if the real thing compares favorably with an “Online Department Store”…
