From the 'Turnback Tuesday' archives: Derby Fur Co. on Main Street

 

This week's "Turnback Tuesday" features the Derby Fur Co. that was located at 206 Main St. It was said all roads lead to the Derby Fur and Dress Shop. 

Owner Mr. I. Loberfeld made it his business to keep his inventory up to date and in style. His shop featured furs made to order, did repairs, and provided storage.
