Celebrate the story of Sterling Lindner Davis, a major downtown Cleveland department store shaped by three earlier retailers. Sterling & Welch dated to 1845, and after a series of acquisitions the combined store adopted the Sterling Lindner Davis name in 1951. Shoppers visited its Euclid Avenue location for clothing, jewelry, furniture, and housewares. The store also became known for its decorated Christmas tree tradition, begun in 1927, before closing in 1968. This T-shirt connects local history fans with a memorable chapter of Cleveland retail.
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.
