It has had little trouble moving into better-known stores, including San Francisco's I. Magnin, Washington's Woodward & Lothrop and Brooklyn's Abraham & Straus. Philadelphia's Strawbridge & Clothier declined to advertise the product publicly but included 75,000 brochures for the item in the monthly statements that it mails...
