Biographical History
John Hower and Edward C. Higbee opened Hower & Higbee, a dry-goods and ready-to-wear clothing store on Sept. 10, 1860 at 237 Superior St. near W. 3rd St. in Cleveland, Ohio. After John Hower died in 1897, the firm reorganized and became The Higbee Co. A century later, it was an extremely successful retail operation, and after opening new stores in the suburbs of Cleveland, annual sales reached more than $100 million. Higbee's was the Cleveland area's largest sales volume retailer of high-end fashion merchandise when it was sold in 1987 to Dillard Department Stores and Edward J. DeBartolo.
