Set your phone down with a little Brooklyn history nearby. This Abraham & Straus foldable mobile phone display stand recalls A&S, the department-store name that began as Wechsler & Abraham at 285 Fulton Street in 1865. The company later anchored Downtown Brooklyn from its celebrated 422 Fulton Street flagship and expanded across the region. Retired in 1995 after the Macy’s acquisition, A&S remains a favorite subject for former shoppers and retail-history collectors. This practical desk companion keeps that Fulton Street legacy in view.
Abraham & Straus, commonly known as A&S, was a major New York City department store based in Brooklyn. It began in 1865 at 285 Fulton Street as Wechsler & Abraham, founded by Joseph Wechsler and Abraham Abraham. In 1893, Nathan Straus, Isidor Straus, and Simon F. Rothschild bought Wechsler's interest, and the business was renamed Abraham & Straus. The company acquired the Wheeler Building at 422 Fulton Street in 1883 for its flagship, later expanding the store in a major 1928 to 1930 project. A&S joined Filene's and Lazarus in forming Federated Department Stores in 1929. It expanded across the New York metropolitan area after World War II, including branches in Hempstead, Paramus, White Plains, and Long Island. Federated merged with Allied Stores in 1992, consolidating A&S with Jordan Marsh. After Federated acquired R.H. Macy & Company in 1994, A&S was combined with Macy's. The Abraham & Straus name was retired in 1995; most locations became Macy's, while others became Stern's, Bloomingdale's, or Sears.
