Yeah--back in the day the department stores carried a comprehensive selection of everything until the "category killers" (Best Buy/Silo/Highland/Fretter/...; Party City; JoAnn Fabrics, ...) took out the individual lines of business from the department stores...interesting that Dillard's sold appliances in Tulsa--I never had any experience with "original" Dillards, only Dillards' after buying out Stix Baer & Fuller in St. Louis. I remember, though, a trip to Tulsa in 1980, I think, where they still had some of the local chains in existence (Vandevers, Frougs) which my grandmother and great grandmother remembered.
