Short history of Bonwit Teller:
Bonwit Teller & Co.
Founded 1895 New York City, New York, U.S.
Bonwit Teller & Co. was an American luxury department store in New York City, New York, founded by Paul Bonwit in 1895 at Sixth Avenue and 18th Street, and later a chain of department stores.
In 1897, Edmund D. Teller was admitted to the partnership and the store moved to 23rd Street, east of Sixth Avenue.
Bonwit specialized in high-end women's apparel at a time when many of its competitors were diversifying their product lines, and Bonwit Teller became noted within the trade for the quality of its merchandise as well as the above-average salaries paid to both buyers and executives.
The partnership was incorporated in 1907 and the store moved to the corner of Fifth Avenue and 38th Street.
Throughout much of the 20th century, Bonwit was one of a group of upscale department stores on Fifth Avenue that catered to the "carriage trade".
Among its most notable peers were Lord & Taylor and Saks Fifth Avenue.
