Luxury retailer Nieman Marcus has quietly cancelled “Christmas” from its annual holiday catalog. This is the first time this has happened in its 117-year history and never would have happened under its three founders, all of whom were Jewish. Not coincidentally, the last founding member, Richard Marcus, died in February 2023.
The beginning of Neiman-Marcus is the story of three Jewish merchandising pioneers of women’s high fashion in the Wild West (Below)– Herbert Marcus, Abraham Lincoln “Al” Neiman, and Carrie Marcus Neiman. Their combined last names became the store’s namesake.
In the early 20th century, most women’s clothing was made to order — a slow, step-by-step processes. This was true even in fashionable department stores. Fabric, lace, and ribbons were chosen separately and put together by dressmakers or seamstresses. Neiman-Marcus introduced the new concept of ready-made, high-end fashion, which could be adjusted by alterations. All of this took place in an atmosphere of elegance not yet seen west of the Mississippi.

I was born and raised a bingo player and became an atheist by the time I was 16. Even I am offended, no, more like totally appalled. Damn woke wackos.
