Description
Dresses and blouses in a women's clothing store, possibly during the Christmas shopping season. Small Christmas trees with ornaments are part of the decor. A blouse on the counter has a price tag that reads "Merry Christmas, $2.98." There is a chair by the counter.
This store is most like Mode O'Day, a national women's clothing retain chain. The downtown store was located at 93 S. First Street. Other locations included Los Gatos, Valley Fair Shopping Center, and Sunnyvale.
I believe this is a Mode O'Day store.
