Franklin Simon & Co.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Franklin Simon & Co. was a New York City-based department store chain specializing in women's fashions and furnishings. The store was conceived as a collection of specialty shops rather than a traditional U.S. dry goods store. Each "shop" had a specialty product line, such as ready-to-wear apparel for women, misses, girls, boys, men, young men and infants.[1] When the chain closed in 1979, there were 42 stores.[2]
