In 1906 Spiegel’s mail order sales were nearly $1 million, far exceeding anyone’s expectations. To handle the overwhelming success of the mail order operation, a new company—Spiegel, May, Stern and Company—was formed, allowing the Spiegel House Furnishings Company to devote its limited resources to conventional retailing, rather than assume the debts associated with building up the mail order segment. – Wikipedia
