May Department Stores was founded in 1877 by David May in Leadville, Colorado. Headquarters moved to St. Louis, Missouri in 1905, and the company went public in 1911.


Mary Livingstone was working as a lingerie salesgirl here when she met her future husband Jack Benny. Later, the department store was used as a setting in his radio and television shows.


Today, the May company does business under a variety of different names. The divisions are listed along with the date they were acquired, the location of their headquarters if not St. Louis, and the states in which they do business:

In medieval times ‘lord’ was the common term for a feudal superior, hence ‘lord of the manor’, and the king was often referred to as ‘the lord king’.

At the time Taylor took office, his experience included the humbling discovery that one man he had successfully and confidently prosecuted for rape, and put away for many years, had been proved by unassailable DNA tests to be innocent.
