Title
English: Driver with horse-drawn Bon Marché carriage in front of Second and Pike store, Seattle, 1908
Description
English:

The Bon Marché was founded in 1890 by German immigrant Edward Nordhoff and his wife Josephine. Originally located in Seattle's Belltown district at First Avenue and Cedar Street, in 1896 it moved to a more central location downtown at Second Avenue and Pike Street." Pictured here is a Bon Marché carriage with driver and horses on the street in front of the store. Sometime after the Bon's downtown move it advertised itself as the 'The Home of Santa Claus ' Presents for Everyone' as one of a variety of marketing strategies.
