The company’s history began with Motte’s in 1874 and took the Famous-Barr name in 1911, when David May merged the Famous business with William Barr Dry Goods Co. A downtown landmark and branches across the region made the brand a familiar part of shoppers’ lives. These make a distinctive keepsake for golfers, local history enthusiasts, and collectors who remember a regional name later absorbed into a national operation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFamous-Barr grew from Motte's, a St. Louis boot and shoe store founded by Jesse W. Motte in 1874 at 714 Franklin Street. In 1876, supervisor Joseph Specht became Motte's partner; the business added clothing and moved to 703–705 Franklin Street, appearing in the city directory as Famous, Motte \u0026amp; Specht and becoming popularly known as the Famous Clothing Company. Retailer David May acquired the Famous Clothing Store in 1892 and later acquired William Barr Dry Goods Co. In 1911, he merged the businesses to form Famous-Barr. The company opened a downtown St. Louis department store in 1914, described as the country's first air-conditioned department store. Its first branch opened in Clayton, Missouri, in 1948, followed by a Northland Shopping Center branch in Jennings in 1955. Famous-Barr assumed operational control of L.S. Ayres in Indiana in 1991 and added The Jones Store in Kansas City in 1998; both retained their names. Parent May Department Stores was acquired by Federated on August 30, 2005. Famous-Barr joined Macy's Midwest on February 1, 2006, and its name was retired that September as most regional stores adopted the Macy's name. The downtown store and headquarters closed in summer 2013.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGet your audience in the zone with these personalized golf balls.
