[3][4] In 1903, Bacon's sons sold the store to the large New York City-based dry goods conglomerate H.B.
[9] Bacon's marketed itself as Kentucky's oldest department store, and often held elaborate sales and celebrations for its anniversaries.
Some Louisville-based department store chain competitors included Stewart Dry Goods, Ben Snyders, and Kaufman-Straus.
