Our Easter clothes Back to school clothes Christmas semi formals all came from this beautiful store. I loved the candy jars & the furniture with pink Rose's on it. This store was high end and the clothes lasted.

They had their own parking lot with a cute booth for the attendant. A cloth tag that said “Certainly it’s Sealfon’s” was sewn into most of the ladies clothing sold there. <br />To my embarrassment, my mother used to buy our clothes (and ice skates) secondhand at the Junior Exchange store behind Ridgewood’s Inspection Station. I would race through the clothing racks, looking only for a Certainly It’s Sealfon’s tag, and if one could be found, there was no shame in wearing that floral shirtwaist dress or kilt with brass safety pin.
