The Romance of a Great Store is a novel written by Edward Hungerford in 1922. The story is set in the early 20th century and revolves around the life of a young woman named Mary Channing, who works at a department store in New York City. Mary is ambitious and determined to climb the ranks of the store's hierarchy, but she faces numerous challenges and obstacles along the way. As she works her way up, Mary falls in love with a fellow employee, John Manning, who is also ambitious and hardworking. Together, they navigate the complex world of retail, dealing with difficult customers, jealous colleagues, and demanding bosses. Throughout the novel, Hungerford provides a detailed and insightful look into the workings of a large department store, from the buying and merchandising to the sales and customer service.
