Seattle’s Great Cash Store: The Bon Marche

July 3rd, 2007 @ 1:48 am by Cliffe | Sorted Vintage Ads |

Straight from a 1914 edition of The Cosmogram comes this vintage ad for The Bon Marche. This Seattle institution opened in 1890 by the enterprising Nordhoff family.

   Was this where Spice Orient and that awful parking garage are on Second Avenue now? If so, a case where progress definitely didn’t mean improvement.

   Does anyone know where one can obtain some photographs of the 1950s-1960s showing the Bon Marche, and/or I. Magnin, and/or Frederick & Nelson, etc. ? I am looking for one or two to enlarge as best as possible and frame for a business lobby.
