Joseph R. Harris Co.
Joseph R. Harris Co. was a Washington, D.C.-based chain of women's apparel stores.
==History==
The chain was founded in 1916, in Washington, D.C. by Joseph R. Harris. By the time of its sale in 1971, to the retail conglomerate Garfinckel, Brooks Brothers, Miller & Rhoads, Inc., it had grown to nine locations in the Washington, D.C. area, and branches in Atlanta, Georgia and Charlotte, North Carolina.〔"'Expansive' Garfinckel to Acquire Harris," ''The Washington Post, Times Herald'', Jan 31, 1971, p. 115.〕 The company's founder retired as board chairman that same year.〔"Joseph R. Harris Sr. Dies, Founded Clothing Chain," ''The Washington Post'', Nov 20, 1979, p. C4.〕
In 1978, the Minneapolis, Minnesota-based retailer Gamble-Skogmo, Inc. purchased a 20-percent share of the Garfinckel conglomerate from the Joseph R. Harris family, thereby gaining a controlling interest in it. A court suit resulted in an agreement that Gamble-Skogmo would not acquire any more stock in Garfinckel.〔"Retailer Plans to Expand," ''The Washington Post'', Nov 13, 1977, p. 109.〕〔"Garfinckel's Battles Gamble-Skogmo Takeover Bid," ''The Washington Post'', Sep 2, 1978, p. E1.〕〔"Harris Family Got Premium for Stock," ''The Washington Post'', Sep 15, 1978, p. E1.〕〔"Garfinckel Tells of Merger Bid," ''The Washington Post'', Jan 4, 1979, p. D9.〕 The following year, Garfinckel sold the Joseph R. Harris Co., then renamed Harris & Friends, to the Petrie Stores Corp. of Cleveland, Ohio. At the time, Harris had 26 stores in Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Georgia, and the District of Columbia.〔"Garfinckel Plans Sale of Joseph R. Harris," ''The Washington Post'', Mar 29, 1979, p. C1.〕
