Steinbach

 Steinbach were a chain from Asbury Park, NJ (made famous by Bruce Springsteen, which I pointed out in an earlier post). There were several in CNY and elsewhere Upstate, but they were closed by 1999. In Tompkins County, they operated under the name Howlands after Steinbach acquired them in the '60s. Steinbach were once considered to be bigger than Macys or Harrods in the Edwardian era, but began to diminish by the end of the millennium, and would struggle if they held out longer into todays climate.
