Description
Harrods for Everything is a large price list and guide for the Harrods store on Brompton Road in London. The cover calls Harrods the supply centre for the Empire and the house of quality. Phone lines and a wire word are given for orders. Country buyers could order by post with the same care as in the store. Harrods paid the post cost on cloth and fashion goods to any part of the kingdom.
A full index lists goods by trade and by shop floor. Heads run from farm tools and art goods to books, boys clothes, china, clocks, and coal. Page numbers point to each class of goods in the main list. The book shows the vast range of a great London store of that age. It is a rich source for dress, home, and trade of the time.
