HIGBEE'S, IN ITS DAY, WAS A PREMIERE DEPARTMENT STORE. HERE'S A LITTLE FYI:
HIGBEE'S WAS A DEPARTMENT STORE FOUNDED IN 1860 IN CLEVELAND, OHIO. HIGBEE'S WAS FOUNDED BY EDWIN CONVERSE HIGBEE AND JOHN G. HOWER. IT WAS REORGANIZED AS THE HIGBEE CO. IN 1902 AFTER THE DEATH OF HR. HOWER. IN 1929 IT WAS ACQUIRED BY THE VAN SWEINGEN BROTHERS. THE STORE SUBSEQUENTLY WENT BANKRUPT IN 1935 AS THE VAN SWERINGEN EMPIRE COLLAPSED IN THE GREAT DEPRESSION, BUT THANKS TO EXECUTIVES CHARLES P. BRADLEY AND JOHN MURPHY, THE COMPANY WAS REORGANIZED AND FLOURISHED UNDER THEIR GUIDANCE FOR MANY YEARS. IN 1984 INDUSTRIAL EQUITY LTD. A SUBSIDIARY OF BRIERLY INVESTMENT LTD. NEW ZEALAND ACQUIRED HIGBEE'S SELLING IT FOUR YEARS LATER TO A JOINT VENTURE OF DILLARD'S AND EDWARD J. DEBARTOLO SR. WHO PLANNED TO COMBINE HIGBEE'S WITH AN INTENDED ACQUISITION OF HORNE'S. IN 1992 DILLARD'S BOUGHT OUT DEBARTOLO'S SHARES AND REBADGED HIGBEE'S AND FINVE OF THE NORTHERN OHIO HORNE'S STORES WITH ITS NAME. THE PUBLIC SQUARE FLAGSHIP STORE WAS KNOWN FOR ITS TENTH-FLOOR SILVER GRILLE RESTARTANT AND WAS PROMINENTLY FEATURED IN THE 1983 MOVIE "A CHRISTMAS STORY". IT CLOSED IN JANUARY 2002.
