Product Details & Size Guide
Bring a small reminder of Cleveland’s retail past to your gathering with this Sterling-Lindner-Davis metal bottle opener. The downtown store’s combined name was adopted in 1951, linking earlier businesses with a prominent place on Euclid Avenue. It served shoppers in the Theater District until closing in 1968, while its decorated Christmas tree tradition had begun decades earlier, in 1927. A practical keepsake for Cleveland history fans, local collectors, and anyone who enjoys a conversation-starting piece of hometown heritage.
Sterling Lindner Davis was a major department store in downtown Cleveland's Theater District, formed from Sterling & Welch, Lindner Co., and W. B. Davis Co. Sterling & Welch dated to 1845. Lindner & Davis was acquired by Allied Stores in 1947; Allied then bought Sterling & Welch, and the combined store became known as Sterling Lindner Davis in 1951. The store operated until 1968, closing amid the growth of malls and outlets. At its height, it was part of Cleveland's prominent group of six downtown department stores, alongside May, Higbee's, Bailey's, Taylor's, and Halle. Shoppers came to Euclid Avenue for goods ranging from clothing and jewelry to furniture and housewares. The retailer was especially known for displaying what was described as Ohio's largest decorated Christmas tree, a tradition begun in 1927. The tree tradition is sometimes associated with another Cleveland store in the 1983 film A Christmas Story, but the supplied source attributes it to Sterling Lindner Davis. By the end of the 1990s, none of Cleveland's big six remained in operation.
