S. H. Kress & Co. published and distributed postcards through their chain of "five and dime" retail stores in hundreds of locations across the United States. Samuel Henry Kress (1863–1955) established the first store in Nanticoke, Pennsylvania, to sell dry goods, stationary, and postcards.

In 1964, the Kress company was purchased by Genesco, which slowly began closing the business. LINK to the complete article - www.doaks.org/research/library-archives/dumbarton-oaks-ar...
