Bernard F. Gimbel, New York Shopping
Bernard F. Gimbel, Chairman of the Board of Gimbel's, and his wife Alva in 1925.
Gimbels was, at one time, the largest department store chain in the United States. You may remember the rivalry between Macy's and Gimbel's in the movie "Miracle on 34th St". Mr Macy and Mr Gimbel vied for Macy's department store Santa - perhaps the real Santa.
