Cooper and Levy calendar, Seattle, 1896
Order an ImageIn 1892, Isaac Cooper (b. 1861) and his brother-in-law Louis Levy (1864-1947) founded Cooper & Levy, a Seattle retail and mail-order business. The company was particularly known for selling groceries and other supplies to miners heading north to Alaska and the Yukon. A decade later, they sold the prosperous business to local department store The Bon Marche. Both men were active in Seattle’s civic life and became prominent philanthropists.
This 1896 calendar, featuring four girls, promotes the Cooper & Levy brand of baking powder and reminds customers of the store’s low prices and mail order business.
