Wife and I bought our first baby furniture there from
Mr. Weinberger when he was salesman.
What a great story and what a great store Bowen Bros. was…wish we still had it and JB White’s. The escalator was the “cat’s meow” I loved it!! Thanks for this article.
Growing up in downtown Augusta, every weekend I would walk to Broad Street to look in my two favorite stores, Augusta Radio Co. to look at the Zeneth Trans Oceanic Radio, that thing was the size of a small suitcase. Then I would go to Bowen Bros. in the basement to look at the model cars, trains, and planes. Even though I could never afford anything it was still fun.
