Scope and content
Ardens specialized in women's clothing at their store on Broadway in 1951. They were close to the Knights of Pythias Temple and Weisfield's, Inc. Ardens' display windows are full of mannequins dressed in the latest ladies' fashions with suits, dresses, blouses and skirts. Huge letters spelling out the business' name are prominently mounted on the building's exterior as well as on windows and even the sidewalk. Customers could park directly in front of the store as evidenced by the two parking meters.
