This Day in History: 1928-01-03
Diskons the “Busy Store” at Main and Van Houten Its in Paterson began their “White Goods Sale”. The store claimed that their high volume permitted bulk purchases from leading mills which resulted in the lowest prices in the “Metropolitan Shopping District”. Fancy bed spreads were priced at $2.30. Bed sheets were priced from 89 cents for the 81×90 inch size to $1.99 for the 90 x 109 size. If you want Fruit of the Loom sheets, they were priced at $1.50. Pillow cases were proportionally reduced.
