department store. The term department store isn’t recorded until 1887, when a New York establishment advertised itself as H.H. Heyn’s Department Store, though the idea of separate departments in stores can be found in print at least 40 years earlier, when an article in Hunt’s Merchandising Magazine told of “tubes connecting with each department of a store, from the garret to the cellar, so that if a person in a depart- ment . . . wishes to communicate with the employer, he can do so without leaving his station.” See only—shopping days to christmas. |
