One of two stores in the St. Louis area (the other is in Chesterfield), ABC Trading Co. specializes in costume jewelry and other accessories for women, including scarves, pins, necklaces, fashion belts, hair goods and hats. The shelves are packed with choices. The store notes on its website: "As you step inside, the humdrum of shopping, that sense of sameness evaporates. Our customer's time with us is all about them -- their comfort, lifestyle and fashion desires."
