Brooklyn Today: July 6, 2012
Good morning. Today is the 188th day of the year. The issue of the Brooklyn Daily Eagle for July 6, 1901, contained a series of ads for Abraham & Straus (now Macy’s on Fulton Street). Among other things, they advertised men’s suits for $16, women’s oxfords for $1.99, women’s bathing suits for $3.75 and children’s dresses for 98 cents.
Well-known people who were born today include actor Ned Beatty, former President George W. Bush, the Dalai Lama, former First Lady Nancy Reagan and actor Sylvester Stallone.
