Affleck & Brown, Manchester - 71st annual sales catalogue, 1937 - 'Gowns for the 'Not-so-slim"

            Real political correctness in 1937 Manchester! 'ee, shes not THAT slim' - you can almost hear Ena Sharples saying it! One has to make equal allowances for some of the colour names then in use that are now not acceptable. 

Affleck & Brown were one of the big Manchester stores, on Oldham Street, and very highly regarded. They fell under control of Debenhams in 1950 and ceased to trade in the 1980s - the store building now forming 'Afflecks Palace".
