Thank you! Just went down a rabbit hole on the site which ended in buying a book about Kaufmanns on Amazon. Didn’t know until now that I needed that book!

Lazarus' owners purchased Horne's and put the Lazarus name on them.

It's fun finding a Hornes box mixed in with your parents Christmas wrapping

My parents are the same way - you better hand those boxes back to them after you open the presents and the stick-on bow, too! I've seen Hornes, Kaufmann's, Gimbels, even a Service Merchandise box.
