Yes Macy's had appliances.
My yiayia (grandmother) bought a Westinghouse 50's fridge from there that endured until the 90's. It was still working when it met the curb. (It had a hot-gas push-to -defrost button). Macy's also had, and still have, a furniture department. I actually bought a 110v washer-dryer by "Comb-o-Matic" from neighboring Gimbels on 33rd Street in Manhattan. I believe it was a re-badged Ariston from Italy. And yes I did tinker with it to raise the water level! The sales-woman was "family" as she outed herself to me and my partner. At first I, out of instinct, denied "being together" until I realized she was friendly and in the same boat. LOL |

The Macy's that was near where I grew up on Long Island used to have an appliance section. It was on the basement level, and had all the major brands. However once the 1970s left us, so did the washers and dryers at Macy's. Have a good one, James |

Shillito-Rike's in Cincinnati/Dayton had major appliances until at least 1986...I remember going to their warehouse sale while I was in grad school. Shillito-Rike's (they were merged in 1984 or so) became Lazarus became Macy's, of course. During that period, I worked at LS Ayres in Cincinnati which did not have major appliances, but did have electronics (TV/Vacuum/Microwaves) as a leased department...I bought my first microwave there with my employee discount (a big ol' honkin Tappan...never since have I had a microwave that did bacon better).
