This can probably be sourced. For example, "the store has long had a reputation for gentility and conservatism". [1] "Altman's program, as it starts its second century, is to retain its image as a carriage-trade store, safely conservative," [2]

should the template requesting the photo and logo be removed? I am not sure if the best way to do this is to just remove it, or to place another tag that says the article has those things already? Secretsources ( talk) 12:42, 19 January 2015 (UTC)
I just read the article about the old B.Altman Stores. I remember them in the 1980's when I was growing up in the 1980's. There is an error regarding Benjamin Altman in the article discussing the history of B.Altman and Co. The article stated that Benjamin Altman founded the chain of stores in 1865, but died in 1913 at 53 --------- here is the quote from page ---------- "When Benjamin Altman died 1913 at the age of 53". Which would mean he founded the stores in 1865, at the age of 7 !!!! I looked up Benjamin Altman by his name, and found that he actually was born in 1840, founded the stores in 1865 at 25 and died in 1913 at 73. That would have been quite a feat to found a chain of successful stores which operated for over a century, beginning at age 7!!!! 11:46, 26 May 2015 (UTC) 108.2.147.42 ( talk)
