I flew to NY from CA a couple of weeks ago, and while walking 59th, happened upon Argosy... Amazing! I had very little wiggle room in my time between meetings, but I made sure I came back the next morning, also. I'm so impressed, and reading about the family history of the store impressed me even more. Thank you for having such a marvelous bastion of knowledge there in the city! I was truly impressed.
Just wanted to let you know that I got your name off an envelope from July 1939. Your store looks wonderful and very cozy. I live in McDonough,Georgia and at 71 I will probably not get to visit. But what a store!
