Resseguie collection on department stores, ca. 1945-1966 (bulk).

A gathered collection consisting largely of clippings from Women's Wear Daily and other newspapers, some photostats and printed items. The main alphabetical series includes both names and subject, and there are also manuscript notes by the donor on many of these topics. A second, smaller, series contains material on men's clothing stores. There are also notes for Resseguie's work in progress on Alexander T. Stewart. Resseguie worked for nearly forty years for Fairchild Publications, publishers of Women's Wear Daily. Because the Fairchild publications have not been indexed, the Resseguie Collection offers a valuable resource to researchers.
