Its no surprise that retail institutions like Selfridges & Co and Fenwick both still exist at the London addresses noted on these advertisements, but it was still fun to see their familiar names with slightly different logos, 1947 prices and fashions. (A suit costing £5.2.0 would be £156 in today's prices.)I also just learnt that Henry Gordon Selfridge, who founded the store in 1909 worked previously in Chicago at Marshall Field & Company.
