A color photograph is of the bell used at Bon Ton from its opening in 1915 to its closing in 1961 [020PC29.06]. Bon Ton was owned by Joseph H. Greenstein, and his wife Sara Greenstein took over as president and owner after his death in 1935; its downtown Louisville location was at the corner of Fourth and Liberty.
