Advertising Mirror for Kaufmann's Department Store, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

An advertising mirror featuring a color image of Kaufmann's department store in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The mirror notes that Gimbels purchased the building in 1926. Kaufmann's was established in Pittsburgh in 1871 by brothers Jacob and Isaac Kaufmann as a men's store. In 1877, they relocated downtown, and the store became known as "The Big Store." Edgar J. Kaufmann owned the store during the first half of the 20th century. Kaufmann & Baer was founded by cousins of the original Kaufmann's founders. The mirror likely dates from before 1926.
