Spiegel (catalog)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Spiegel is one of the nation's leading direct marketing or catalog companies. It started as a "wareroom" in downtown Chicago and is now a $3 billion international, tri-channel specialty retailer. Despite the challenges of the Great Chicago Fire of 1871, two economic depressions, and two world wars, Spiegel kept going.
The company mailed out its first catalog in 1905. 20 years later, it had over 10 million customers. Since 2004, Spiegel and the women's fashion catalog Newport News have operated under the the name Spiegel Brands, Inc.
