Product Details & Size Guide
Lazarus began as a small family clothing store in Columbus in 1851 and grew into a regional department-store name remembered across generations. Its history includes a role in founding Federated Department Stores and a later transition from Lazarus to Lazarus-Macy's and Macy's. This infant bodysuit offers a gentle way for families to share that local retail story with a new generation. It makes a thoughtful keepsake for Columbus families, former Lazarus shoppers, and collectors of Ohio heritage.
Lazarus began in 1851, when Simon Lazarus opened a one-room men's clothing store in downtown Columbus, Ohio. The family business expanded from men's clothing to a broader range of merchandise, with sons Fred Lazarus Sr. and Ralph joining and introducing marketing practices. In 1928, Lazarus acquired Cincinnati's John Shillito Company, founded in 1830. The next year, Lazarus became one of the four founding partners of Federated Department Stores. The chain grew beyond central Ohio, reaching Indianapolis in 1973 and Huntington, West Virginia, in 1981. In 1986, it merged with Federated division Shillito–Rike's and adopted the Lazarus name while taking on the division's Cincinnati headquarters. Federated added other acquired store groups to Lazarus in 1987. In 1995, Lazarus joined an Atlanta-based Federated division with Rich's and Goldsmith's while keeping its local name. Federated rebranded the stores Lazarus-Macy's in 2003 and completed their conversion to Macy's in 2005. Former Lazarus stores later moved among Macy's regional divisions as systems integrations were completed.
