	Macy's - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Macy's is the name of a chain of American department stores including one in New York City that bills itself as "the world's largest".
		Macy's was founded in 1851 by Rowland Hussey Macy as a dry goods store in downtown Haverhill, Massachusetts.
		Macy's now occupies the entire block from 7th Avenue to Broadway and 34th to 35th Streets—except for one small brownstone on the corner of 34th and Broadway, which remains a separate property, though rented by Macy's annually for a legendary figure, and camouflaged with giant signs.

	The Development of the Department Store
		Rowland Hussey Macy started out as a small, specialized business owner, but in the heat of competition, he found himself slowly turning his small boutique into a huge department store.
		One of Macy's true advertising triumphs was his display windows, which are still a popular sight today, especially during the holiday season.
		Macy's would move north to Herald Square (34th Street) in 1902, to occupy 9 stories of a full city block.

		By 1977 Macy's was the nation's 5th largest department store chain with 76 stores, sale over $1.6 billion, and full ownership of 5 regional shopping centers and 50% interest in 3 other centers.
		But after several failed retail ventures, Rowland Hussey Macy's determination and ingenuity paid off at the age of thirty-six with the launch of R.H. Macy and Co. He adopted a red star as his symbol of success, dating back to his days as a sailor.
		Macy's pioneered such revolutionary business practices as the one-price system, in which the same item was sold to every customer at one price, and quoting specific prices for goods in newspaper advertising.
