-Wow I'd all but forgotten this place.
-I remember one Christmas l was on crutches and almost fell trying to go downstairs LoL
-Wasn, t there a lady named Lillian who worked there?
-Loved that store - was in Young's (which is in there now) the other day and thought about the times I would shop in Silver's. Great place!!
-WOW, bought my first suit there
-Wow! Shopping for back to school clothes!
-memories of going there with my grandmother.
-We arrived from England and moved into Georgetown in 1956. Not much money in parent's pocket and at winter our mother would go to Silvers and get us winter coats on credit. She said many times..that if it was not for Silvers, we would not have had winter coats. I remember when I worked, I would put clothes on credit ..and guess what..no interest. I still have a blouse from Silvers..(though it is a little small on me now) . It is said Charity begins at home and I guess that The Silver family felt that Georgetown was home. Thank you!
-I loved that store.
-I remember my Mom buying on credit there too, no interest. Unheard of these days!!
Yes Lillian Watson worked there. I believe she was Jack Watsons sister. A very nice attractive lady.
-Thanks Sandra.yes she was a lovely lady and very helpful
-I shopped there all the time. Loved the store!
-such memories..... I worked there for one summer in 1969!! I was scared to death of Mrs Watson!! My (ex) mother-in-law Edna Turnbull worked there and got me in.........
-I loved silvers
-Shoe dept was down stairs
-got fitted for my first bra there
-Mrs, Pacholock (not sure of the spelling) use to let you take stuff home to show your mother and either bring back the item or the money. I remember feeling al grown up to be able to pick out my own clothes :)
-Remembers the building but not the store,
-They let buy things on payments even as a teen $5.00 bucks a week and you got to take it home before you payed in full.
-That was our backyard when we lived above the Fruit Market!!! (way back in the day)
-Bought a pair of jeans there and got a free copy of Frampton comes Alive! Best store ever!
-In my last year of High School, I was awarded the Hyman Silver Award by Sid Silver. A whole $10, but in 1954, that was a tidy sum. It made the difference between me dropping out and staying in.
-Shopped there! Always remember the smell 😊
-I always liked the big long entrance ways on both doors.....never knew what was going to be on display
-My favourite got my first mohair sweater in that store....Yellow to be exact
-I remember my mom smoking in the store while we shopped for fall school clothes. Still remember some dresses we bought.
-Bought my first suede coat there at the age of 15... Bright orange to be exact, I was so proud of it!
-That Mrs Pacholok would have been my aunt.
-My parents shopped at Silvers in the 60's. I got a winter coat from there that I loved, light brown with fancy buttons. My mom had to ask my dad first though lol, it was an expensive coat. $19.95!
-i got my first pair of bell bottom blue jeans there...
-My dad bought me a ski jacket, small orange and black diamonds, he loved it, I didn't want to hurt his feelings and tell him I hated it, so I wore it. This is a man who dresses like Don Cherry by the way.
-That's so funny, Reni. It reminds me of a pair of winter boots my dad bought me from Silvers. I couldn't find anything I liked and the store was closing. My dad picked out a pair, I said "no one wears this kind!" My dad said "well then you can be the first one" lol World class smart aleck. Lol :)
-I am so glad my Dad hated shopping . I could only imagine what he would have picked out. lol My mom always took me :)
