Barneys Vs. Sears

Vinessa Shaw, age 23, states with authority that “Sears was the Barneys of the ‘70s” (“Fictional Flashback: NBC Re-Creates the Disco Decade,” by Victoria Looseleaf, April 26).

Hmmm. Perhaps she doesn’t remember Barneys’ memorable ads from that era, back when Barneys was the Men’s Wearhouse of the ‘70s. The only constant is Bloomingdale’s--Bloomingdale’s was the Bloomingdale’s of the ‘70s!
