The conversion of Hecht's stores to Macy's has begun.

In 2005, The May Department Stores Company merged with Federated Department Stores. The Hecht's division was eliminated and the former Hecht's stores will soon be operated by Federated's Macy's division.

Permanent Macy's signs have gone up at Hecht's, and advertisements now bear the names of both stores.

The Macy's signs are still covered with translucent Hecht's signs, though. The signs will stay covered until the official conversion date, scheduled for Sept. 9, 2006.

Vintage Belk Bag

If you have any memories of shopping at Belk stores in the 1970s, this should bring back a wave of nostalgia. I found this old bag in my basement in pretty horrible shape, so I decided to make a scan of it for posterity.

This bag was used in vintage '70s Belk stores like the ones listed below:
