Summary

We Were Merchants: The Sternberg Family and the Story of Goudchaux's and Maison Blanche Department Stores is the fascinating and inspiring story of a family of immigrant merchants who transformed a nondescript apparel store in Baton Rouge into a national retail legend. At its pinnacle, Goudchaux's/Maison Blanche had become the largest family-owned department store in America, operating twenty-four stores in Louisiana and Florida, and employing more than 8,000 people; a bygone era when family businesses ruled the retail landscape . . . . The Sternbergs sold Goudchaux's/Maison Blanche in the early 1990s, bringing to an end a centuries-long mercantile tradition that began in a small shop in eighteenth-century Germany. ¶ We Were Merchants is enhanced with recollections of former customers and employees, and forty-two historic photographs
