  • “A Sturdy Core of Thinking, Fact Seeking Citizens”: the Open Forum Movement and Public Learning in Terre Haute and Hammond, Indiana, in the 1920S
    “A Sturdy Core of Thinking, Fact Seeking Citizens”: The Open Forum Movement and Public Learning in Terre Haute and Hammond, Indiana, in the 1920s Arthur S. Meyers” In Sinclair Lewis’s fictional Zenith, Ohio, in 1920, George Babbitt complained to his wife that their daughter and her beau were “trudging off to lectures by authors and Hindu philosophers and Swedish lieutenants.” Lewis was describing an actual phenomenon taking place in several hundred industrial cities, including at least four in Indiana. The Open Forum lecture movement was remarkable: a locally planned, non-partisan, non-sectarian initiative in public learning, reaching thousands of people around the country. Expanding beyond the Chautauqua lecture movement in topics and locale, it brought a wide range of people together to discuss the vital concerns and intellectual advances of the day and to consider the core beliefs and values in their lives.’ Although the Open Forum has faded from history, it was a model of social commitment, public learning, and freedom of speech that took root not only in metropolitan areas but also in small cities in the Midwest. The story of the movement in Terre Haute and Hammond in the 1920s provides fresh insight into Indiana’s history, revealing a previously unknown interest in the ideas of liberal reformers and support for public learning, and documenting the social activism of a minister and rabbi. It also suggests that other smaller urban communities of the Midwest were less provincial and more politically varied than most accounts of the era suggest. The Open Forum is best understood in both religious and political terms.

  • Macys Janelle Godfrey.Pdf
    M a c y ’ s Introduce - Macy's, Inc., originally Federated Department Stores, Inc., is an American holding company headquartered in Cincinnati, Ohio. It is the owner of department store chains Macy's and Bloomingdale's, which specialize in the sales of clothing, footwear, accessories, bedding, furniture, jewelry, beauty products, and housewares; and Bluemercury, a chain of luxury beauty products stores and spas. As of 2016, the company operated approximately 888 stores in the United States, Guam, and Puerto Rico Its namesake locations and related operations account for 90% of its revenue. - - Macy's was founded by Rowland Hussey Macy, who between 1843 and 1855 opened four retail dry goods stores, including the original Macy's store in downtown Haverhill, Massachusetts, established in 1851 to serve the mill industry employees of the area. They all failed, but he learned from his mistakes. Macy moved to New York City in 1858 and established a new store named "R. H. Macy & Co." on Sixth Avenue between 13th and 14th Streets, which was far north of where other dry goods stores were at the time On the company's first day of business on October 28, 1858 sales totaled US$11.08, equal to $306.79 today. From the beginning, Macy's logo has included a star, which comes from a tattoo that Macy got as a teenager when he worked on a Nantucket whaling ship, the Emily Morgan Introduce - As the business grew, Macy's expanded into neighboring buildings, opening more and more departments, and used publicity devices such as a store Santa Claus, themed exhibits, and illuminated window displays to draw in customers.

I Department store companies have traditionally been among the strongest contributors to local civic charities, such as museums or symphonies. In many towns, the department store is the primary downtown activity generator and an important focus of urban renewal plans. The closing of a department store is generally considered a devastating blow to a downtown, or even to a suburban shopping mall.

  • INTRODUCTION Binding Ties and Tension Between Washington and London
    https://doi.org/10.14324/111.444.jhs.2016v48.020 INTRODUCTION Binding ties and tension between Washington and London In the current academic year I am on sabbatical from my position at University College London (UCL). Following three months on fellowship at Yad Vashem in Jerusalem, in the autumn of 2016, I was a William J. Lowenberg Fellow in American Jewry and the Holocaust at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, DC. I have also conducted research regularly at the Library of Congress and the National Archives in College Park, Maryland.1 For the remainder of the winter and spring 2017, I will be a fellow of New York University’s Remarque Institute. While lecturing outside Washington I enjoyed short periods of work at the Harry Ransom Center of the University of Texas and the Firestone Library of Princeton University. The focus of my research has been on Eastern European and American Jewry’s engagement with photography during the interwar period and the Second World War, and my project extends to cinematography and film. Without expressly pursuing such a theme, my research has yielded numerous connections of signal importance between Washington and London, and particularly the roles of Jews in these relationships. A highly significant figure in the collections I have consulted on several aspects of photography and film-making from 1933 to 1947 is Lord Bernstein (Sidney Lewis Bernstein, 1899–1993), who has received sparse attention for his role in shaping the character of wartime film in both Britain and the United States. My research also points to Britain (and the Commonwealth) as critical in the conception of American film as revealed in the little-studied careers of Leonard Spigelglass and Leo Rosten.2 Rosten, who is best 1 The acronym as used in the USA is NARA (National Archives and Records Admin is- tration), which is located in Washington, DC, College Park, and several additional sites.

  • R. H. Macy & Co. Store, 14Th Street Annex
    Landmarks Preservation Commission December 20, 2011, Designation List 450 LP-2474 R. H. MACY & CO. STORE, 14TH STREET ANNEX, 56 West 14th Street, Manhattan. Built 1897; [William] Schickel & [Isaac E.] Ditmars, architects. Landmark Site: Borough of Manhattan Tax Map Block 577, Lot 12. On July 12, 2011, the Landmarks Preservation Commission held a public hearing on the proposed designation as a Landmark of the R.H. Macy & Co. Store, 14th Street Annex and the proposed designation of the related Landmark Site (Item No. 1). The hearing had been duly advertised in accordance with the provisions of law. Four people spoke in favor of designation, including representatives of Manhattan Community Board 2, Greenwich Village Society for Historic Preservation, and Historic Districts Council. Summary Located near the intersection of 14th Street and Sixth Avenue in the midst of New York City’s then-primary retail shopping district, Ladies’ Mile, the R.H. Macy & Co. Store, 14th Street Annex was the last phase in the expansion of the complex – including older remodeled structures and several purpose-built annexes – occupied by the famous department store during its 44-year tenure at this location. Founded in 1858 by Rowland H. Macy as a fancy goods store, Macy’s became known for innovative retailing strategies and emerged as a full-service department store, one of the city’s largest. After R.H. Macy’s death in 1877, and the acquisition of controlling interest in the business in 1888 by brothers Nathan and Isidor Straus (who had operated a china and glassware department here since 1874) and sole proprietorship in 1896, the Strauses hired the firm of the prominent New York City architect William Schickel, well known within the German-American community, for a number of commissions.
