“If you’ve ever yearned for your own place-away-from-home, but thought it might cost too much or be a chore to find, furnish and buy…you must come to Macy’s. Come soon…and bring the family with you.

The 20th century. Feh. Feh, we say! Sure, some good things happened: global public health initiatives. The computer revolution. Walking on the moon. The Big Mac. Feminism. Box wine.
