Inscription. For women's clothing, jewelry, gloves, and shoes Baumoel's was the place. Complete with its own glove fitting station, Baumoel's was equipped to satisfy women and young folk. Baumoel's had a change conveyor to transport payments and bills of sale in miniature cable-cars to the second floor, and to transport change and receipts back to the sales counter. The cable-driven change conveyor was the forerunner of modern vacuum tubes now used by banks. Morris Baumoel redefined the department store with his great ideas and thus began a magnificent business that lasted nearly 100 years.
