That gave me a flashback. I remember the print ads advertising "Oh!rbachs."
It was a discount department store-- in other words, fashion knock-offs that I could afford as a struggling student in the early 70s. I shopped at the Ohrbachs in the Del Amo Mall ( to tripwire) and the one on Wilshire Blvd; the latter was legend for its shoe sales. As soon as I started making more money at college jobs (most of my earnings went to clothes and shoes), I switched to more upscale stores. My guess is that DS chose Ohrbachs for the same reason-- a tight budget.
