where did lord and taylor get its name
Lord & Taylor English-born Samuel Lord started a dry goods business in New York in 1824, and opened the original store that would become Lord & Taylor in 1826, on Catherine Street. The shop stocked hosiery, misses' wear, and cashmere shawls.[7] His cousin, George Washington Taylor, joined in 1834, and the store was named Lord & Taylor. Sames S. Taylor, Lord's brother-in-law, replaced George Taylor in 1845 and the store moved to Grand and Chrystie Streets in 1854.[8]
