This 1964 Catalog from the Now-defunct Bellas Hess Company Is Like a Wonderful Time Capsule
The clothes and furniture are so classy!
The company was instrumental in the court case which settled the matter of out-of-state sales taxon mail order items in 1967. But, the company was facing the same problems that many mail order companies were dealing with at the time – declining sales and poor profits. Looking back at these pages is like opening the catalog back then, just perusing the pages and enjoying the fashion.
