Fashion Exhibitors of America, Inc. (Saint Louis, Missouri).
Minutes, 1936-1955. 1 box
Fashion Exhibitors of America, Inc., is an organization of wholesale apparel salesmen in the
St. Louis area. Through most of its history the organization was restricted to the women's and
children's clothing industry, but eventually opened up to include men's apparel. It was organized
in 1934 partly as a reaction to the shortage of gasoline. The chief function of the organization
was to provide a central point where wholesalers or "exhibitors" could show their wares to retail
representatives or "buyers." Through most of the organization's history, members assembled four
or five times a year at the Statler Hotel in St. Louis. At these times, buyers converged on the
hotel to view the exhibitors lines, and participate in parties and seminars. In most years the
exhibitors and their wives also met for an annual banquet.
Minutes of the organizational meetings. See the Missouri Historical Society Prints and
Photographs Collections for graphic materials.
