Gordon & Ferguson (Saint Paul, Minn.).

Gordon & Ferguson, which operated in St. Paul, Minnesota, specialized in fur clothing manufacture. Richards Gordon (1829-1911) began operations in April 1871, taking on Paul D. Ferguson (1850-1905) as partner two years later. Gordon & Ferguson was incorporated under Minnesota law in 1902 and was subsequently renamed Gordon & Ferguson, Inc. (a Delaware corporation, 1922), Gordon & Ferguson Company (a Delaware corporation, 1931), and Gordon, Inc. (a Minnesota corporation, 1941), though it continued to be known as Gordon & Ferguson publicly. Its product lines included Field & Stream and Town & Country. In 1964, the Herman K. Lavin Company, also a St. Paul clothing manufacturer, purchased Gordon & Ferguson. By the late 1990s, some product lines were continued by the Field & Stream Apparel Company.
