Just in time for Easter, today we are updating with 170 new pages from the mail order catalog of National Bellas Hess Inc. for spring and summer 1928. Due to the merger of the two companies National Cloak & Suit Co. and Bellas Hess & Co. in the summer of 1927, National Bellas Hess became the third largest mail order company in the USA at the end of the twenties with over six million customers.

As a result, well over 2,800 pages from 38 catalogs and 29 magazines are now online!

With today's update also the Haensel-Echo issue no. 11 from spring and summer 1932 is completely available online with all 20 pages.
