From The Baltimore Sun

"His business is always changing, but proprietor Stanford Schneider stands firm on flowers and foam.
. . . They come to the Salvage Exchange, where a big sign at the corner of Conkling Street and Claremont Avenue promises 'Everything from Flypaper to Flying Machines.'
"It's always changing. Except for foam and flowers, we're not trying to sell anything forever," says Stanford Schneider, 69, whose life has been the store since he was old enough to sell 3 pairs of shoelaces for a nickel and mismatched socks—better than no socks in Depression days—for a dime."
"Mixing up the inventory at a neighborhood store is the trick to moving truck-loads of low-budget quirks . . ."
"My aunt and uncle (Sarah and Mike Lipman) started here in 1934 . . . Mr. Stanford will run it as long as he can keep coming in here . . ."

Here's a decorative concept that is safe and inexpensive—an entire house of foam, and our shop is just the place to furnish it. We will cut the foam to any size and thickness. Think of it: foam beds, foam sofas, foam carpets, and foam coffee tables! Pretend you are in a NASA Training Program. Then, for that added touch of elegance, trim with silk flowers. Conkling Foam Center is the silk flower capital of Baltimore! We have silk flowers of every imaginable color from chocolate brown to aqua. Boy, is Mother Nature jealous!
