Dretzka’s Department Store

-

This rummage sale of a store (4746 S. Packard Ave., Cudahy) dates to 1902, and it seems not much has changed since. Most of the merchandis­e is old, and some of it’s very old. Highlights include a large array of turtleneck dickies, housecoats and go-go boots. Look up to the ceiling, and you’ll see small baskets and wires that once transporte­d customer payments to the store’s office.
