This boy’s two-piece outfit was purchased for Raymond A. Bellon in the mid-1920s from Oppenheim’s Department Store, located at 817 Washington Ave., in downtown Bay City. The size eight shirt has an inside tag that reads “OPPENHEIM’S BAY CITY & JACKSON MICHIGAN.” According to an advertisement published in the Bay City Times on October 13, 1925, this outfit cost $3.45.
