Description: Photograph of seamstresses working in the alteration room for women's apparel in The F. & R. Lazarus Company, Columbus, Ohio, ca. 1952. Between 1851 and 1965, the F & R Lazarus Company retail store dominated the trade and physical landscape of Columbus. The company rose from its early years as a men's clothier in a 20 x 40 foot room downtown, to its position by 1965 as a member of the largest department store chain, Federated Department Stores.
