This short book covers a bit of history of the main store in downtown Vancouver (I worked at a different location), the unique neighbourhood, and her time working there as a university student. Tons of coloured pictures that cover a century of the area, the people, and ephemera from the store.
Before the age of mega-super-grocery stores and big box stores, Woodward’s was THE go-store if you wanted specialty items or quality house-brand products. They also had killer $1.49 day sales once a month. The store loved to hire students, and I was one of the lucky teenagers in Vancouver to get this plum job packing groceries. It paid $7.68 an hour when minimum wage was $2.25. We were paid in cash every Saturday, and had a 15% discount in the department store, so a lot of my pay was spent at the Lancome, Estee Lauder, and Shishado counters.
Recommended for: people interested in the history of Vancouver. ( )
