Add a touch of Detroit department-store history to your golf collection with Federal's Golf Balls. Founded in 1929, Federal's merged with Columbus-based Kobacker's in 1961 and acquired Shifrin-Willens Jewelers in 1969. The chain filed for bankruptcy in 1972, when its Lansing and Kalamazoo stores closed, then passed to new ownership in 1978 before liquidation in 1980. These balls connect the game with a regional retail story spanning expansion, change, and an enduring place in collectors' memories.
Federal Department Store, commonly known as Federal's, was a department store chain based in Detroit and founded in 1929. Its history includes expansion through a merger and a separate jewelry acquisition. In 1961, Federal's merged with Kobacker's, a department store company based in Columbus, Ohio. In 1969, Federal's bought Shifrin-Willens Jewelers. The chain filed for bankruptcy in 1972; that same year, its stores in Lansing and Kalamazoo closed. One of Federal's holdings at the time of the bankruptcy was the Hoffritz for Cutlery chain, which was sold in 1975 through a leveraged buyout. In 1978, Steven Watstein, also known as Steven West, purchased Federal's. The chain was liquidated in 1980. These milestones trace Federal's from its 1929 founding through a merger, an acquisition, financial difficulty, a change in ownership, and eventual liquidation. The documented locations connect its story to Detroit, Columbus, Lansing, and Kalamazoo.
