A re-sale shop recently opened at 623 N. Skinker, one block north of Delmar. The Miriam Shop was originally established in 1947 and changed to the present address on March 1. Operated by the United Order of True Sisters, Inc., Miriam No. 17, the profits from the shop go to three charitable causes: Miriam School for emotionally disturbed children; American Cancer Society; and Aid to the Blind.
Decorated in shades of pink, the Miriam Shop is a bright spot. It carries everything from baby clothes to furniture. Mrs. Stanley Sicher, vice president of Miriam No. 17 and manager of the shop, has even sold a mink coat since the shop’s opening. The store carries a large selection of children’s and women’s apparel, and the prices are more than reasonable. All articles for sale are donated by the manufacturers or by individuals. Such donations are tax deductible.
Store hours are 1 to 4 Monday through Saturday. Volunteers and members of Miriam No. 17 serve as salesladies. Their friendliness and helpfulness creates the warm, cheerful atmosphere of the store. Stop in often.
