For over a century, Neiman Marcus has been a staple of Downtown Dallas. With a sale of the company on the horizon, we look back at the store's history in Texas.
Seeking greener pastures, Carrie, Herbert and Al moved to Atlanta, Georgia. There, the trio operated a successful sales promotion firm. Their biggest client was a new-to-market soda pop called Coca-Cola. 1907 was not a great year to start a business in America. The Panic of 1907 threw the country into economic recession. Nonetheless, Neiman Marcus thrived.
The store's customers were the ultra-wealthy of North Texas, mainly comprised of heirs to cotton empires and later oil barons.
