THE FAIR department store was founded in 1874, and had a flagship store at State and Adams in Chicago. In 1925, the business was sold to SS Kresge but kept the name and expanded. In 1957 Montgomery Ward purchased it and would keep THE FAIR name through 1963 and by 1964, they were all named after the parent company.
