Description: Filene's opened its famous "Automatic Bargain Basement" in 1909, which became a much-visited tourist attraction. Goods were marked down according to an automatic schedule; an item that had been on sale for 12 days was marked down by 25 percent, after 18 days by 50 percent, after 24 days by 75 percent, and after 30 days it was given away. Famous for the Running of the Brides which was a one-day sale of wedding gowns, garnering local media attention because of the sight of hundreds of brides-to-be scrambling for bargains. The store stocked thousands of gowns for that day and marked them down drastically; gowns were non-returnable. Prices ranged from $249.00 to $699.00, marked down from retail prices as high as $9,000.
Description: Throwback Thursday at its finest- celebrate the late great Building 19 with this vintage tee commemorating the great New England discount store chain which lived until 2013. Who can forget those commercials running at 1 in the morning on Channel 56? Great gift for anyone with nostalgiac memories of the Boston area of yesteryear.
