SynopsisFor ninety-five years, St. Louis residents counted on Famous-Barr to buy the things they used every day and to celebrate the moments that happened only once a year. Customers might bump into Sophia Loren while shoe shopping or confide in Santa Claus during a visit to Toyland. May Company purchased the Famous Clothing Company in 1892 and acquired the William Barr Dry Goods Company nineteen years later. In 1914, Famous-Barr opened the doors of its iconic downtown location, treating folks across Missouri and Illinois to almost a century of spectacular window displays and legendary luncheons.
It has been a pleasure to read this book about the historic and popular department store Famous-Barr in St. Louis. I did not know the title existed, but thanks to this comprehensive eBay site I have a copy to share with family and friends. I will certainly visit this site in the future and I highly recommend it to anyone with a love of books.
