Automobiles sin the 1930s usually did not come equipped with heaters as standard equipment. That's probably why the young lady in the photo is attempting to drive with that huge coat with a fur collar. There was even a term for such attire; the carcoat. You can look it up! Every stylish young lady of that era wanted a carcoat. I can remember in about 1958 when my aunt Ruth boasted about getting a new carcoat at Penny's at Clarke Avenue and Market Street.

tk for PPE says: Remember the cash carrier set up at the Pocomoke Penny's? The sales clerk put your payment in the carrier and up it went to the balcony via a pully type mechanism where a cashier made change and sent it back down with receipt to your sales person on the main floor.

I sure do! I remember when my father took me in to get my first pair of real work shoes. Bobby Judd was the salesman and Dad asked if the shoes were $10. Bobby replied they were....$10 for each shoe. That was considered really expensive back then.

tk for PPE says: Bobby was in my sister's PHS graduating class. Bobby's sister, Peggy, was in my class.
