'Turnback Tuesday' highlights The Model Store in downtown Derby

Turnback Tuesday travels to 1929 and 1945 with more images of The Model Store on Main Street, Derby.

The height of fashion was displayed in the front windows, which was the "modern" way of advertising your store and products. Walking or driving by a beautifully decorated window would entice you to enter and possibly spend money.

The 1929 window is showcasing what is new for the fall, while the 1945 display highlights Christmas gift ideas.
