Curatorial Commentary
On the far left side of this photograph is an entrance to Titche-Goettinger Department Store, commonly known among Dallas residents as "Titche's."  A major part of the downtown Dallas retail trade, the Titche-Goettinger company was founded in 1902 and purchased by Joske's Department Store in 1979. A number of the Museum's oral history participants fondly remember shopping at Titche's in the 1950s and 1960s, particularly at Christmas time when - like luxury retailer Neiman Marcus - they would unveil elaborate holiday window decorations. - Stephen Fagin, Curator
