Lasalle & Koch Co. or Lasalle's was a department store in Toledo, Ohio, U.S., with branches in some nearby communities. ==History== The Lasalle & Koch Company opened its flagship downtown Toledo store at 513 Adams Street in 1918. The company was purchased by R.H. Macy & Co. in 1923.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.macysinc.com/aboutus/history/macysahistory.aspx?Print )〕 In 1927, the company commissioned mural artist Arthur Covey to create a series of paintings about Toledo-area industries which were exhibited in the store's display windows. During the postwar era, Lasalle's expanded by opening branches in the downtown shopping districts of smaller Northwest Ohio cities: Bowling Green (1945), Tiffin (1947), Sandusky (1949), and Findlay (1955). In late 1957 and most of 1958, there was a 13-month-long strike against Lasalle's and two other Toledo department stores, Lamson's and The Lion Store, by the Retail Clerks International Association, which later became the United Food and Commercial Workers. The strike was settled by a "Statement of Understanding" under which the striking workers were reinstated to their jobs but the union was not recognized. In 1962, Lasalle's opened their first suburban Toledo location, a free-standing store at Toledo's Westgate Center.〔 Lasalle's third Toledo store was also their first in an enclosed shopping mall. The Woodville Mall store, east of Toledo in suburban Northwood, opened in 1969. Their fourth Toledo location, North Towne Square, opened in 1980. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lasalle & Koch」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
