The Classic Store in Hays Led by Alex E. Bissing
The Classic in Hays, run by Alex E. Bissing since 1900, has shaped local business and served Hays and Ellis county as a center for shopping and education. The store offers men and boys wear, women's and children's fashions, dry goods, shoes, hats, hosiery, luggage, and up-to-date lines from Ed W. Price, Roberts Johnson, Rand, John B. Stetson, and more, focusing on service and value for Normal students and the wider Western Kansas community.
