Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book follows the evolution of retail from its origins to the establishment of the department store as we know it today, through the lens of the first department store: The Fair. The author uses the store's founding in 1875 to illustrate the significant changes that occurred within the retail business over four decades, highlighting key innovations that would come to dominate the industry such as centralized shopping, and odd-price bargains. While discussing the store's struggles and successes, the author shares the story of founder E.W. Lehmann, a poor man who was able to use his ingenuity and understanding of human behavior to build an empire. Through his narrative, the author also provides a rich historical backdrop of the development of Chicago during the same period, underscoring the interconnectedness of retail with the growth and transformation of cities. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
