Louis Hecht opened his first clothing store at 135 N. Main St. on March 29, 1917, but in 1918 he sold his stock of goods, closed the store and went off to serve in World War I. He reopened his store at 127 N. Main in 1919. This photo was made at the opening of a brand new building at 107 N. Main on Dec. 5, 1927. (Kassel's Studio photo)
[Note the round sofa in the rear of the store, center behind the fur coat. Here it is in 1980:]
