	The Adventures of Macey N. Gimbels and his Pard - Chapter 1
		Gimbels and his pard, perennial Private Les Stark, were busy keeping a low profile since only moments before Sergeant Pill Drilsome had scampered brightly through the camp announcing that the Fashionable Regiment, to which the seriously understrength Gallant Old Thirty Third was attached, would defy nature (and logic) and proceed with Battalion Drill.

	Tale of two Gimbels ends in just one -- and a Web site
		The conglomerate took the Gimbels of Maine to court in 1982 in a classic Goliath-vs.-David lawsuit: The big guys sued the little guy claiming he'd damaged them by using their name.
		The lawyer figured that the Gimbels of Maine would be too scared of the powerful corporation to even attempt to fight back, she recalled.

		Just recently, the Gimbels were contacted the company that produced the films "Hoosiers" and "Rudy," for the use of the name.

	Judge isn't likely to be wild about couple keeping caimans
		Gimbel said Shifrin, a Health Department employee, seemed to try to be as fair and objective as she could.
		Cross-examination of the Gimbels by Shifrin and Martha Robinson, assistant general counsel for the Health Department, showed a weakness in the "caiman parents'" position.
		Although Mike Gimbel contended that the Fire Department visits meant the animals were de facto permitted, the judge's point was hard as stone: For more than 20 years the couple had kept the animals without a license.

	The Story of WAAK--Milwaukee's First Radio Station (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		In the early spring of 1922, the United States Commerce Department granted the Gimbels Department Store licenses to install and operate radio stations in Philadelphia and Milwaukee, assigning the call sign WIP to Philadelphia, but giving one of the first of the new four letter call signs, WAAK, to the Milwaukee store.
		Mitchell's show business connections were invaluable, since it was thought that listeners took a dim view of the transcription broadcasts, and thus required a steady supply of live voices and music for their listening pleasure.
		Such testing may also have been a Gimbels company policy, since the other Gimbels station, WIP in Philadelphia, beat a rival department store as "first on the air" by claiming such tests as their first "broadcasting," although their official sign-on was in fact the next day.

		In Milwaukee, the Gimbels Parking Pavilion also was rehabbed and is being used for office space and parking.

		Among the first to incorporate basement space, the Gimbels structure was considered the newest wave in modern parking.

	Only the Store Is Gone - New York Times
		Though Gimbels, a former department store giant, once put up a plucky fight with Macy's, its higher-class rival down the street, the only physical remnant is a long, narrow sign painted on the side of 119 West 31st Street.
		The Gimbels of "Would Macy's tell Gimbels?," a once-common phrase dismissing the notion that competitors would share business information, has gone the way of the wall of Wall Street, the canal of Canal Street and The New York Herald of Herald Square, surviving only in the popular imagination.
		Brooklyn to Macy's Manhattan, Gimbels was beloved by many in its day but never mustered the sophistication and charm of its slightly more upscale neighbor on the other side of 34th Street.

		This time the idea was to invade Gimbels, a proposition which the department store welcomed with open arms.
		He shipped the 5,000 or so models which had been stranded at the two Gimbels stores (about 600 had been sold) to his museum at Center Sandwich, where they remained until 1952, when he purchased as a new museum an abandoned hospital at Plymouth, New Hampshire, and moved the entire display there.

	At Heinz, it's hoped openness begets oneness at renovated Gimbels quarters
		The seven-story atrium of the H.J. Heinz Co.'s new North American headquarters is located in the old Gimbels building at Sixth and Smithfield.
		Now the roof that covered that shaft is one of several skylights that disperse natural light through the 14th-floor executive suite at H.J. Heinz Co.'s North American headquarters.
		Indeed, most of the store had sat vacant from 1986, when Gimbels pulled out of Pittsburgh, until 1999, when local investors McKnight Development Partners bought it and began renovations to fill the upper floors with office tenants.

		A floor in Gimbels offers flexible use of space and an ability to expand or contract, activity that some of the tall, narrow skyscrapers of old do not always allow.
		Few considered as plusses such things as fresh air and natural light - another advantage at Gimbels, thanks to the big old windows and a new sky-lit octagon-shaped atrium sunk into the middle of the upper floors.
		A transplant from South Africa who designed the new Blattner Brunner offices, Germishuizen shudders when he recalls a building he saw with a "dismal sea of cubicles." So vast was this sea, he says, that coordinates - like B-18 - were placed on columns to help guide workers to their cells.
