User: Lamyhw/Blatt's Department Store, Atlantic City New Jersey

I am interested in M.Blatt's Department Store in Atlantic City New Jersey. I went there as a kid in the 1950's with my aunt and grandmother. I think it was on the corner of South Carolina Avenue and Atlantic Avenue. It had 9 floors. The first floor had books and probably costume jewelry, scarves and cosmetics. They carried, I think it was 'Trafari' costume jewlery. The second floor mezzanine had lunch tables all around the edge that overlooked the main floor. The eighth floor had toys and I think the Madame Alexander dolls were there. I would love to know more as memory fails beyond what I have written. It was sold to Lit's Department Store of Philadelphia in 1962 and so, ended. It was a wonderful old place with great salesladies, many of whom 'adopted' thier customers. Someone on a website mentioned a Mrs, Blau.
