G. Fox & Co.

In 1847, Gerson Fox established a fancy goods store on Main Street in Hartford, Connecticut. The store expanded over the years and was in operation until 1993, becoming at one time America's largest privately-owned department store. A key component of the store's success was the leadership of the Fox family and its commitment to both customers and employees. This collection of material related is related to both the store and the family who owned it for three generations.
