1923 H.T. Blank Gift Shop

Everything was on display -- no doubt beautifully -- at H.T. Blank's store for the holiday season. His store was located at the very corner of the Palmerton block, on the first floor, where formerly a bank had been housed. In later years, the Cozy Corner restaurant could be found there. But in 1923, H.T. Blank was offering:

Everything for the "Baby" at "The Gift Shop." H.T. Blank.

Cutglass and hand-painted china at "The Gift Shop." H.T. Blank.

More White Ivory than ever before at "The Gift Shop." H.T. Blank.

Fancy box stationery from 35 cents to $3.00 per box at "The Gift Shop." H.T. Blank.

Finest line of silverware ever shown at our store, "The Gift Shop." H.T. Blank.

Conklin pens, Eversharp pencils, Ingersol pencils, Dufold pens, at "The Gift Shop." H.T. Blank.

Mr. Blank seemed to sell it all -- and the above was just one week's worth of blurbs in the local section.
