Franklin Simon & Co.
Franklin Simon & Co. was a department store chain specializing in women's fashions and furnishing based in New York City. The store was conceived as a collection of specialty shops rather than a traditional department store. Each "shop" had a specialty like those that sold ready-to-wear apparel for women, misses, girls, boys, men, young men and infants.〔(Franklin Simon & Co., 2003 photograph of fading outdoor sign at 16 W. 38th Street, New York, with company history.

==History==
The chain was founded in February 1902, as Franklin Simon Specialty Shops by Franklin Simon (1865-1934) and his business partner Herman A. Flurscheim. Leroy C. Palmer became president of the company in 1934 at the death of Franklin Simon, and Benjamin Goldstein was the head of Franklin Simon until 1963. The store's concept was "to import much of his merchandise (Europe ) with a view to selling the imported goods as cheaply, if possible, as the domestic." In 1993, Dover Books on Costume, reissued the "Franklin Simon Fashion Catalog for 1923".〔(DoverPublications.com link for 1923 Franklin Simon catalog (retrieved Sep 1, 2008) ).〕
In 1936, the chain was purchased by Atlas Corporation from the Simon family for $2 million.〔("Storekeeping Atlas," ''TIME Magazine'', Oct. 12, 1936 (retrieved Sep 1, 2008) ).〕 In 1945, Franklin Simon & Co. was acquired by City Stores Company of Philadelphia. Oppenheim Collins & Company, Inc merged with Franklin Simon, but the two chains continued to operate under separate trade names and as separate divisions under the newly formed City Specialty Stores. In 1961/1962, City Stores changed the name of the Oppenheim Collins & Co. stores to Franklin Simon. City Stores filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in July 1979. Under the reorganization plan, City Stores closed the 42 Franklin Simon stores.〔(CSS Industries, Inc. - Company history (retrieved Sep 1, 2008 ).〕
