Rearview Mirror: Readers remember Kress and Woolworth stores

From the 1930s through the 1970s, two retail “variety” stores were very popular in the islands: S.H. Kress and F.W. Woolworth. They were known as five-and-dime stores, as most of the items they sold were inexpensive. They sold dry goods, clothing, groceries, toys, bedding, hardware and other goods. They also had food that many still remember today.
