PART TWO I'm passing on some information sent to Tigress on the  Yahoo board by a poster that does his homework.
  Tigress saw Emerson products in a Robinson-May store and below is the posters response
  TIGRESS-----Just some information to show just how important your sighting at Robinson's May could become, and something on Strawbridge-Clothier that  Mr Tiger spoke of.
  Strawbridge was absorbed by May's a few years back and some stores were  renamed Hecht's and the remaining kept the Strawbridge name
  Nordstrom was a good comparison,and the May portion of Robinson's May got me to wondering if they were associated with the biggie -May's Dept. Stores. Here is some info I found on both companies.
  NORDSTROM Although our roots are firmly planted in the beautiful Pacific Northwest, we now operate 132 US stores in 25 states-including 80 full-line stores, 45 Nordstrom Rack stores, four Façonnable boutiques, two free-standing shoe stores, and one clearance store. Nordstrom also operates 23 international Façonnable boutiques primarily in Europe. 
  MAY'S DEPARTMENT STORES The May Department Stores Company had fiscal 2000 sales of $14.5 billion. The company  opened 22 new department stores and 28 David's Bridal stores year-to-date. 
  The May Department Stores Company currently operates 440 department stores and 150  David's Bridal stores in 44 states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico. The department stores operate under the names of Lord & Taylor, Hecht's, Strawbridge's, Foley's, ROBINSONS-MAY, Filene's, Kaufmann's, Famous-Barr, L.S. Ayres, The Jones Store, and Meier & Frank. 
  Your sighting,along with the Sears increase of products could be the catalyst for better recognition  and no doubt increased revenues for the upcoming year. I'm confident other biggies will join the fold in the not too distant future.
  My guess is at least a 10% increase in revenues for upcoming quarter over last year and at least a 15% increase on the earnings side.---Sooner or later the bubble will burst.
