Remember George Washington Sales?

My Mom and her best friend, Patsy would come home from shopping on February 22nd with bags of fabulous finds. Wiechmans, Seitners and in later years, Jacobsons had so many items for. 22¢ or $2.22.

My sister Kathy went all through college with the cutest shirtwaist dresses from those sales. I imagine many of our Christmas presents were purchased in February, too. One year they came home with crazy green afro wigs.

I loved those shopping trips, I couldn't wait for Mom to come home.
