Signfall tells the stories of the American brands we grew up with, the stores we shopped in, the catalogs we flipped through, and the products we used for years. Through old photographs, advertisements, catalogs, and newspaper reports, we explore how these companies grew, why they struggled, and what became of them. Along the way, we look at what they meant to the people who worked there and the families who kept coming back. If you remember shopping there, working there, or owning one, share your story in the comments. We’d love to hear it.
