Get Your Parcels Ready!
In honor of Paper Bag Day, we have three shopping bags from R.A. McWhirr Company, the favorite department store of Fall River!
The small brown bag dates to the earlier years of McWhirrs, which officially opened its doors in 1877. The white and blue bag is one of the store’s signature parcels. And perhaps the most unique bag in the entire museum collection is the elongated paper pouch, perhaps used to ship umbrellas or toy firearms.
We can only imagine the goodies once held in these paper parcels!
