History Sanger Brother’s Sanger Brothers Dry Goods, Sanger–Harris of Dallas, Texas, was the result of the 1961 merger of the then four-unit Sanger Brothers Dry Goods Company of Dallas, founded in 1868 by the five Sanger brothers and acquired by Federated Department Stores in 1951; and the two-unit A. Harris and Company of Dallas, founded in 1887 and acquired by Federated in 1961. In 1965 the company built a new downtown Dallas store to replace the flagship stores of the two companies and, as the business legend goes, turned down the opportunity to move into a new shopping center called NorthPark Center. During the late 1970s, the chain dropped the hyphen between 'Sanger' and 'Harris' (rumored to differentiate from hometown rival Neiman Marcus) and continued as an upper-moderate shopping destination. In January 1987 it was merged into the Foley's division; the combined division was sold to The May Department Store Company the next year. Most locations are now Macy's since 2006 when Federated Stores bought out The May Department Stores Company in 2005. Hotel Maurice Hotel Maurice advertised rooms as low as $1.00 a night and was part of Benny Binion’s Dallas gambling empire before he relocated to Las Vegas and opened Binion’s Horseshoe Casino. E. M. Kahn and Company Kahn, Emanuel Meyer (1849–1923). E. M. Kahn (rhymes with can), a merchant, was born in Alsace-Lorraine, France, on November 10, 1849. When his parents died at age fourteen, his relatives enrolled him in rabbinical school, and he served as a cantor and schoolteacher before immigrating to America. He sailed on a packet to Georgia, where he worked as a merchant before moving to Mississippi and then on to Dallas. In 1872 he founded E. M. Kahn and Company, which continued for ninety-two years as a family-owned business and had the distinction of being the oldest retail store in Dallas and the city's first air-conditioned store. Kahn built his first store on the courthouse square and established the first store west of the Mississippi with fixed prices. On February 20, 1878, he married Lilly Belle Hurst; they had six children, five of whom lived to maturity. Kahn became one of the founders of Temple Emanu-El of Dallas, the State Fair of Texas, and the Phoenix Club, which became the Columbian Club. He was a founding stockholder of the American National Bank, which later became InterFirst Corporation, and of Southwestern Life Insurance Company. He reached the thirty-third degree in Masonry. For fifty years Kahn served as president of his business. He died on August 4, 1923. His son Lawrence and his grandson Eugene Sanger followed as president. The company was sold to Eagle Clothes in 1969. Every happy camper needs a unique camper mug. It's lightweight, durable and multifunctional.

Disclaimer: The Enamel Mug is susceptible to staining when used with certain beverages, including coffee, tea, and natural juices. That’s a normal characteristic of enamel products and not specific to our mug alone. Due to the enamel’s rough and porous surface texture, particles from these drinks may easily adhere to the mug, resulting in stains over time. Stains can be effectively removed by applying lemon juice or soda to the affected area and gently scrubbing with a hard sponge. This product is made especially for you as soon as you place an order, which is why it takes us a bit longer to deliver it to you. Making products on demand instead of in bulk helps reduce overproduction, so thank you for making thoughtful purchasing decisions!
