See how brothers Edward and Lincoln Filene brought fashion and entertainment to generations of Bostonians.It was regarded as the Worlds Largest Specialty Store. William Filenes Sons Company was founded in 1870 and brothers Edward and Lincoln Filene were revolutionaries who championed employee relations and innovative merchandising. In 1909, Edward organized and opened Filenes famous Automatic Bargain Basement, while Lincoln helped found the Federated Department Stores Company in March 1929. Filenes was a pioneer in branchstore development.In its heyday, the store hosted appearances by fashion designers, such as Christian Dior, Pierre Cardin, and Pauline Trigre, in addition to celebrities, like Zsa Zsa Gabor, Gloria Swanson, and Gene Autry. A victim of retail consolidation, the flagship downtown Boston store closed its doors in 2006. Its building, designed by the internationally renowned architect Daniel Burnham, celebrated its 100th anniversary in 2012 and anxiously awaits its redevelopment. Now, you can see some of these historic photographs that come directly from the Filene Marketing Archives at the Boston Public Library.
