Scope and content
The latest fashion in coats for the winter of 1956-57 is modeled at Oakes Apparel. 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. The low clutter floor plan gives the feel of an elegant salon. The coat is an A lined tweed with a cowl collar. The collar and panels in the coat are of a contrasting color.
