Coming in due course.
I was looking through some clothing from my grandmother when I came across several hats from Miller and Paine. One had a receipt in it for $8.95. I was very happy to be able to find a little more about where my grandmother purchased the hat.
ReplyDeleteWell, that was sure quick . . . I just published the exhibit, and am not completely done with it yet.

As a girl, I remember eating the Little Miss Muffet in the Millers tearoom. It was chicken in gravy over mashed potatoes....and my favorite part a delicious cinnamon roll. I spent many hours shopping at Millers in the 1950's and 60's.
ReplyDeleteI worked for Miller & Paine at the downtown store for a couple of years while in college. It really was like a family there and my time spent with folks who had worked there for decades was so interesting.
ReplyDeleteMy mother used to work in the cosmetics department on the main floor. One of her jobs was to custom blend facial powder for ladies. That would have been about 1961.
ReplyDeleteWhen I was a little girl, my Grandma worked for Miller & Paine in the Girl's Department. She took my sister and I too the Tea Room regularly. My favorite thing to eat there was the macaroni & cheese.
ReplyDeleteWhat wonderful pictures. I started as a sales associate at Miller and Paine in the downtown budget store in 1983. My dream was to be a buyer. In Oct 1985 I was promoted to that position. At Miller and Paine I learned the fundamentals of buying, selecting and driving sales. When Miller and Paine was purchased by Dillard's in 1988, I was given the opportunity to move to St. Louis and buy for Dillard's. Later in my career I bought for both May Department Stores and Macy's.
ReplyDeleteI will always look back with fondness at my days at Miller and Paine. I loved the mac and cheese and the cinnamon rolls!! Both the Tea Room and the basement restaurant were wonderful!
It was great to see the crowds of people all wearing red on NU Football Saturdays milling around the Miller and Paine downtown first floor. GO BIG RED!!!
Thank you for including Miller and Paine in this article!!
