Spiegel Jewish Business


The phenomenal success story of the original Jewish catalog company - Spiegel is one of the USA's leading direct marketing or catalog companies. It started as a "wareroom" in downtown Chicago and is now a $3 billion international, tri-channel specialty retailer. Despite the challenges of the Great Chicago Fire of 1871, two economic depressions, and two world wars, Spiegel kept going. The company mailed out its first catalog in 1905. 20 years later, it had over 10 million customers. (Note: video includes rare archive photos and story on a generation of new Jewish entrepreneurs.)
