I am caught for this down pour of rain thunder sweeping Manhattan. The amount of rain was just incredible and one could here and see the rain coming down, and I met a young actor and intelligent gentlemen who was just very interesting in explaining about art and films and film work. Also about broadway show land of New York. Clothing, footwear, jewelry, beauty products, fragrances, electronics, bedding and housewares. Samuel Lord, an immigrant to the United States from England and George Washington Taylor, his wife's cousin, founded the store in 1826 on Catherine Street in Manhattan in order to sell hosiery, misses' wear and "elegant Cashmere shawls".
