Finding Thalhimers Elizabeth Thalhimer Smartt 9780982701911 Books

I LOVE it book! I worked at the downtown Richmond, VA, Thalhimers in the late 60s/early 70s as a teen, so purchased it just for the history of an iconic institution. BUT, it is SO much more than a book about a store! The family history is fascinating, and I've already thought of a few other folks who would appreciate this story, even though they never lived in Richmond! Kudos to the author!

Enjoyed the history of this great department store.
very good
Interesting read; wish they had included some of their recepies
haven't read much of it yet. so far just a history of the Thalhimer family in Richmond.
The book was delivered in a timely manner and was in good shape. Nice story and Im sure very interesting to the family and friends, but kind of boring to those outside the Thalhimer'srealm.
I so enjoyed reading Finding Thalhimers. What a great story of not just how a family business succeeded but also how a young woman searched for her ancestorial home. Growing up in Richmond the store was such an important part of our lives. We have a family story of how my brother visited Santa on Christmas Eve and saw a display item as he was leaving the store. He announced that Santa was going to bring him the cart and horse the next morning. Sure enough it was there when he came down. My mother didn't even know how it happened but my dad obviously did the same thing that was mentioned in the book. That's customer service!! We so miss that with the closing of all the family stores.
I thought I was getting a book about the history of Thalhimers,a department store in Richmond Virginia, but it is so much more! Elizabeth Thalhimer Smartt has done a superb job in tracing her family roots all the way back to the first Thalhimer who came to America from Germany to eventually begin a business that would grow and expand and endure for decades. I grew up with Thalhimers, so this was particularly interesting to me. The book covers not only a long lineage of Thalihimer business men(and their families) but gives the reader a good look at Richmond history. How the final demise of such an iconic part of Richmond came to be is a reflection of the fate of most of the department stores we baby boomers grew up with. A satisfying read with a touch of nostalgia, and truly a through well told story of the American dream.
