Russells Western Store - 2754 Stewart Avenue

In the early 1960s, Atlanta's stylish urban cowboys, frequently seen cruising around town in long sleek convertibles, all agreed that there was only one place to go for fancy ranch wear or a new set of square dancing duds: Russells Western Wear, located at 2754 Stewart Avenue (now Metropolitan Parkway). Or so it seems from the advertisement below. The first image is from an old magazine ad for Russells, and beneath that is a postcard for the long gone western store. A slightly different postcard for Russells can be found here. Google map
