Title

E. Gottschalk & Co., calendar card from June 1907

Description

Sunbonnet Babies having tea, calendar card from June 1907. Gottschalk’s department store was founded in 1904 by Emil Gottschalk (1856-1939), formerly the manager of Kutner-Goldstein’s Fresno operation. It moved to a much larger location at Tulare and J (Fulton) streets in 1914, which became the company’s flagship store until its 1986 closure. After Gottschalk’s death, the store was run by his nephews, Abraham H. Blum (1884-1963) and Irving W. Levy (1896-1982), and in turn by their sons, Gerald Blum (1927- ) and Joseph Levy (1932-2014). The store opened its first branch in Merced in 1961, eventually expanding and acquiring other department stores. It was operating a total of 58 locations in the San Joaquin Valley and five other western states when the company fell victim to the Great Recession, and ceased operations in 2009.
