Bell Hat Shop. 2-15-1944 

Obit. 

Marian Artman says her mother opened her dress shop in her home at 5 Norris 

Avenue in 1923 or 1924. It throve so well that in 1929 she moved to 107 Bank 

Street. A large house with a bay window on the front, windows to the floor. 

Marian used to trim this bay window area. Mrs. Johnson used to make regular 

buying trips to New York where she would occasionally comment on a design - 

say this nech not over night - that the belt-line should be moved. She was 

asked to join a dress firm as a consultant, but refused because would have 

meant too much time in New York. Mrs. Johnson was a dressmaker and 

designer of her own creations, and even after her shop opened, made many 

wedding dresses. Marian had gone with her husband [which see] to Herkimer. 

After five years of marriage she became pregnant and the doctor, diagnosing 

a rare blood ailment, recommended that her husband bring her to Batavia. 

There the parents installed the Artman's in upstairs quarters, and Marian 

became her mother's assistant. When Jay was born a was woman hired to take 

of him. Marian tended the shop, occasionally blacking out and having to lie 

down for a short while, but she had a second child successfully and healthily. 

Marian took over the buying trips to New York, introduced to the work shops by 

two local milliners, Killian and Eveland. They found a buyer for her and 

shared a hotel room. Buyers like Marian sat in little booths with a notepad and 

the models paraded past, stopping before each booth to twirl and show details. 

When the out-of-town buyer had made her decision her buyer would bring the 

clothes she had chosen for a closer look and perhaps change of opinion. One 

9-28-1964 

One could also call New York by telephone for special items. Marian says one 



Johnson, Florence (cont) buyer would take her back to the warehouse for items needed immediately, and 

would then ship them the next day. Her mother hated this part of the business 

but Marian seems not to have. Customers were the two Mason wives, Lena 

and Alice, and Alice's daughter after her. Mrs. Bertrand was extremely selfconscious 

and would allow no one in the dressing room with her. Mrs. Max 

Pies was also a good customer. Mrs. Johnson did not like to wait on Mrs. Pies 

and would leave her to Marian. Once or twice a year Mrs. Pies would have a 

box packed and set to Russia, to which Marian would add clothes left unsold 

in the shop. On one occasion Mrs. Pies gave Marian a string of cultured pearls 

from Francis & Mead in appreciation. On another occasion she gave her a 

coffee table from the store. Very Generous. People would bring Mrs. Johnson 

a list of clothes children headed for college would want. Dr. Gemmell, then 

in Buffalo, would bring a group of teachers from UB once a month or so for 

shopping. Marian remembers Dr. Chenny Spofford in the shop for a dress. 

Jay would have nothing to do with the shop but Charles loved it. At 5 he would 

try to help and when the shop had its Dollar Day Sales grandmother would let 

him sell hats. He would submit to washing, brushing, and dressing to use his 

salesmanship. The ladies loved to have him give his judgement on hats. He 

had his personal charm and salesmanship that young. Mr. Johnson lost both

legs and had to go to Hilltop Sanitarium. Mrs. Johnson became ill and had to 

give up her part in the shop. Elmer Artman, who had opened his own insurance 

and real estate office died suddenly. Marian was accredited as a realtor, not 

as an insurance agent because she feared the math studying for insurance 

agent would entail. James Corbett advised her to keep the insurance business 

because she had two sons who would grow up to help her. So she applied 

herself and became accredited as an insurance agent. She sold the shop. 

Everything was put on sale and the shop closed. Marian says she remembers 

the figure $5,000 which she thinks was the sum from the sale. This was in 

1943. In New York when she could get near the Neiman-Marcus buyer - a 

young and discerning young woman - she would often order what N-M was 

buying. Dr. Johnson's sister, an old school friend, went with on one buying trip, 

but went back to the hotel - buying too confusing.
