Woolworth store on a Berlin shopping street, 1937

Beneath a stone facade the lettering F W WOOLWORTH CO runs the length of a row of brightly dressed display windows; women in hats and men in overcoats stream along the pavement, a large saloon car draws up in front, and in a closer view uniformed men walk past a window piled with toys and household goods. The American chain had opened its first German stores in 1927, and in 1937 its fixed low prices still drew the crowds of a Berlin shopping street.
