The "Rich's" of Huntsville, Dunnavants was the big department store....elevators with operators, brass and glass cylinders moving receipts, payments and change in meandering vacuum tubes .....departments for denier stockings, boy scout uniforms and plastic-covered lariat cord were not as intriguing as the x-ray fluoroscopic devices in the shoe department, where I became very familiar with the bone structure of my odd feet with their narrow heels and vast arches......that just couldn't be fit with Buster Brown Shoes. Like Rich's, Dunnavants moved to the Malls, then vanished into oblivion.....
