Look to Lazarus

Department stores were a midwest institution, none more prominent in downtown Columbus Ohio than F&R Laazarus & Company.For more than 150 years, F&R Lazarus & Company was the heart of downtown Columbus. Headed by the 'first family of American retailing' with an eye for flair and a devotion to the customer, this uniquely midwestern institution won the hearts and minds of a community. Look to Lazarus draws on the memories of those who worked and shopped in this grand emporium to tell the unlikely story of a love affair between a city and a store. It was a love affair born of the solemn promise 'You can always take it back to Lazarus, no questions asked.'
