It’s another hot summer day here at Hagley Museum and Library. But we’re beating the heat and living the sea-nymph fantasy with these bathing togs from Wanamaker’s 1925 summer catalog. Opened by advertising pioneer John Wanamaker (1838-1922) at 13th and Market Streets in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in April, 1876, Wanamaker’s department store was one of America’s first modern department stores. Fitted with well-ventilated shopping departments, the store was the first department store to feature electric lighting (installed in 1878), the first to adopt the telephone (in 1879), and the first to install a pneumatic tube delivery systems for transporting documents and cash deposits throughout the building (installed in 1880).

This image is source from the summer, 1925 issue of Store and Home, Wanamaker’s quarterly catalog. You can view this issue, as well as other issues from 1922, 1924, 1925, 1926, and 1928 online now in our Digital Archive. Just click here!
