16. Macy's ate Foley's.

In Houston we had several family owned stores.

Foley Brothers, Sakowitz Brothers, Battelstein's, Neiman-Marcus (based in Dallas but had two stores in Houston).

Battelstein's got eaten by Beall's (YUCK). Lousy merchandise.

Sakowitz had different merchandise than Foley's and Neiman's. Sakowitz went out of business in the late 1980s.

Neiman's got eaten by some chain as well.

We had three GOOD quality stores in Houston - Sakowitz, Battelstein's and N-M.

And The Smart Shop.
