For some reason I felt compelled to look up the store's history. I am so glad that I did. I am touched by all of the warm memories that folks have of the stores and the people who worked there. What a wonderful American institution! It's a testament to all family businesses and how they add texture and richness to our lives. From now on, I will remember that my gorgeous treasure was part of something truly great.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05478871700761655255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8209731.post-10658105182752361332019-02-04T18:35:31.373-05:002019-02-04T18:35:31.373-05:00My grandmother worked at Hughes & Hatcher in t...My grandmother worked at Hughes & Hatcher in the 1970's as a part time job. I vaguely remember it being located in a mall. She was in her 60's at the time. We would visit her and my grandfather every summer and I was only 8-12 years old at the time. I cannot believe I found this blog!! Does anyone remember her? Her name was Elizabeth Easton but she went by "Betty". She lived in Allen Park, Michigan. She passed away in March of 1984. I remember there was a sculptor in the mall that kids would climb all over. It's weird the things we remember. This was 40-45 years ago!! If anyone remembers her, please let me know!

I was excited to see it was a Hughes & Hatcher hanger! I used to work for Hughes & Hatcher, plus I happen to like using wooden hangers... the more vintage looking the better. When I went to the cashier to check out, she grabbed my hanger and pretty much did a slam dunk into a bin next to the register with a bunch of hangers used at the store. She looked at me like I was a little crazy when I panicked and said I was actually going to purchase it. Maybe a little crazy, but happy with my H&H treasure.Carrienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8209731.post-86160569124635041702019-01-01T20:13:36.644-05:002019-01-01T20:13:36.644-05:00I love the shape of this building, too bad it was ...I love the shape of this building, too bad it was demolished so early.<br />\Finlay Hammhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16862868156257806339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8209731.post-52557332547740743952018-11-07T14:05:04.721-05:002018-11-07T14:05:04.721-05:00I was salesman for Male Slacks and Jeans H&H w...I was salesman for Male Slacks and Jeans H&H was my biggest account.

It was my first job. The commissions were great. Other employees were waiting for customers to come to them. I approached customers and it paid off. Occasionally, I worked in the men's area. I would sell a shirt and pants, then sell the customer a tie and even socks to complete the attire. I would have loved to have stayed on after the holidays. They had to let me go after the holidays when they learned I was only 15.
