About this product

Product Information

Dayton's department store, grand in scope and company spirit, enjoyed a century in the limelight as one of the nation's leading retailers. Its disappearance has been a challenge to the community, but it is a sign of the times, as many other urban department stores have shared the same fate. Originally called Goodfellows, the store got its start in 1902 when real estate investor and banker George Draper Dayton became a silent partner in the business. He soon took over the company but had to learn the ropes of retail as he went along since he had never intended to become a merchant. The early years were not without struggles, but Dayton's department store was nevertheless an instant hit with its daylight-filled aisles, generous return policies, and quality merchandise. The Minneapolis store became a vibrant self-contained community with a post office, newspaper, infirmary, laundry, bakery, and even a college. "Daytonians" worked and played together around the clock, in baseball and bowling teams, glee clubs, and orchestras. Over time, the reach of Dayton's extended far into the upper Midwest, with stores in North Dakota, South Dakota, and Wisconsin, including the development of the nation's first indoor mall.

  • a walk down memory lane

    We lived in Minnesota long ago and loved going to Daytons since they had acquired J L Hudson's, from Detroit, Michigan where I grew up. It was fun to read about Daytons and especially enjoy the pictures which brought back lots of happy memories shopping at Daytons at Christmas time, and thinking of Hudson's too. The book is a treasure. It's always a treat to see what our big cities stores were like long ago-

    I have about 20 of the books in the Images of America series. They are interesting and informative. I recommend the series highly.
