Product Details & Size Guide
Bring a piece of downtown Cleveland retail history to your everyday workspace. Sterling Lindner Davis united Sterling & Welch, Lindner Co., and W. B. Davis Co., adopting its familiar name in 1951. The store welcomed shoppers to Euclid Avenue with clothing, jewelry, furniture, and housewares before closing in 1968. This mouse pad celebrates the department store's place in Cleveland's Theater District and its once-thriving shopping scene, making it a thoughtful choice for local history fans and collectors of historic retail names.
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.
