Fleur de Lis fashions led by Mel and Ned Appling on Fifth Avenue
Mel Appling, formerly general manager at Smitty's Big Town Markets, and his wife Ned own Fleur de Lis, a Fifth Avenue women’s shop. Vera Smith remains manager, with Pam Walker among the staff, as they maintain the store’s established clientele and cooperative local trade. They avoid merchandise duplication by consulting sales staff about other shops’ buys and plan ahead for seasons, buying in April and June for winter selections. Dallas and Texas designers receive strong note for fabrics.
