Scope and content
A saleswoman solicitously shows the lining of a winter coat to a customer at Oakes Apparel. The store is decorated like a fine salon, with uncluttered racks and an open floor plan. Price tags dangle from the sleeves of garments. Oakes Apparel sold upscale fashion for women and was owned by Jay A. Grenley. The store was located in the historic Harry Ball block, built in 1890 and now demolished.
