You would pay at the front counter and the lady would put the money in a "Contraption" That would shoot it upstairs where another lady would remove it and then send your change in the same machine back down to where you were waiting. Such fond memories. Even after I was married that was my Wife`s favorite store among all the old stores downtown. I got to know every inch of Penny`s and Gilchrists when I went shopping with her.

This block burned in 1966, but I think the Sears had already left, opening at Shoppers World. The Smith block is the empty parking lot where Store 24 is located. Here's a link to my photos of the downtown fires of 1966. http://natickmass.info/Framingham%20Fires/SouthFramingham.html Yes, the Sears was in the Smith Building block.
