Full exhibit coming in due course
The on-line museum of North America's independent department stores. The museum holds all sorts of information about classic department stores which either no longer exist, or are changed beyond recognition. A few of them are still with us, and provide an interesting connection to North America's retail past. The others are presented so that they may be properly remembered as a tangible part of the lives of their customers, shopping destinations where memories were often made.
Your department store museum is spectacular. My name is Thomas B Roshek JR. My Grandfather started Roshek Bros. Co. My father Thomas was president in the 50's and early 60's. I have some interesting photos of all four stores in Dubuque. Regards, Tom
ReplyDeleteTom, when Roshek's was in downtown Dubuque, there were large aerial pictures of a farm hanging on the walls of the mezzanine. That farm belonged to my grandfather, Herman Heiar. My mother has been wondering what happened to those pictures. If you can provide any information about those pictures, I would appreciate it!
DeleteTom, I would like to expand my coverage of Roshek Brothers. Can you please e-mail me at bakgraphics@comcast.net? THank you.

ReplyDeleteDoes anyone know the year that Rosheks closed their bakery in the downtown Dubuque store? My father worked for the bakery several years in the 1950s
