[edit] Discussion

Would someone be able to take an exterior photo of a Kaufmann's store before the chain is converted to Macy's in August 2006? J2rome 06:23, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

Why did you spam this message to several May Company store talk pages? Or did you want a picture of each and just forgot to change "Hecht's" to "Kaufmann's", etc.? Powers 20:21, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

Oops! I am very sorry. I didn't mean to spam and I don't believe that I am. I am making photo requests as per Wikipedia guidelines. I obviously made a mistake in copying & pasting and forgetting to change the name on each individual page. Thank you for notifying me, I will correct all of my requests. ;) J2rome 07:35, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

One of the Kaufmann's in our area changed it's name to Macy's and it was changed back to Kaufmann's Dudtz 8/9/06 6:08 PM EST

[edit] Content of article

It strikes me as odd that there is so much non-Kaufmann's info in this article. I realize May owned Kaufmann's, but I think the whole section about how May owned all the major department stores in Pittsburgh needs to perhaps be in the May company article. NickBurns 18:18, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Article Update

I took the liberty of updating and almost completely re-writing the Kaufmann's article. I've been storing information from newspapers and doing research on the now-defunct department store. As this is a hobby and not a career, it's taken me some time to find information. I'll add more as I can. --Write On 1983 01:43, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
