FROM HULA HOOPS TO HIGH FASHION: G. Fox in the 1950's

     In the 1950’s, just about every major city had a landmark department store. In Connecticut, it was G. Fox & Co in Hartford! This presentation by Elizabeth Abbe from the Connecticut Historical Society will bring you back in time to Fox’s heyday, from floor to floor. You’ll also learn about Beatrice Fox Auerbach,
the remarkable woman who made every visit to Fox’s so customer centered and enjoyable!
