HALLE BERRY : A GREAT ACTRESS & A BEAUTIFUL LADY WAS NAMED AFTER HALLE BROTHERS STORE .
BELOW DETAILS RE : BOTH LABELS HISTORY .
Dior, ChristiankrēstyäN\' dē-ôr\', 1905–57, French fashion designer. He established his main house of couture in Paris (1946) and by 1958 had salons in 15 countries employing more than 2,000 people. Known particularly for the New Look of 1947 (narrow shoulders, constricted waist, emphasized bust, and long, wide skirt), his designs were nonfunctional but enormously popular in the postwar era. He created the short, waistless sack dress (early 1950s) and introduced the A-line dress (1956). His designs represented consistent classic elegance, stressing the feminine look. The Dior tradition of beautiful fabrics led to the creation of international merchandising labels for gloves, furs, and jewelry. Since the death of Dior, the firm continued under Yves St. Laurent, Marc Bohan, and Gianfranco Ferre.Label OverviewThe House of Christian Dior started in 1947, when Normandy-born designer Christian Dior opened his own company after working with Robert Pigue and Lucien Lelong. And the direction he took his own label changed the direction of mid-century fashion, in particular, with his post World War II \"New Look\" which elevated Dior to the status of one of the most famous French designers in history. The New Look (a term coined by then Harper\'s Bazaar Editor-in-Chief Carmel Snow) encompassed voluptuous silhouettes with boned, bustier bodices and skirts that flared out from the waist, finished with a hem that flattered any woman\'s calves. And it set the world on fire, as the New Look refused to grow old, still finding itself in modern-day fashion. The house continued success even after Dior’s death in 1957, as Yves Saint Laurent took over, and later it changed hands to Marc Bohan to Gianfranco Ferrè. John Galliano took over in 1996, debuting his first collection on the 50th anniversary of the label, and staying there ever since. He\'s established the look of the \"Anything Goes\" era with his own extreme makeover of the house. And with his impeccable way of capturing fashion\'s thematic imagination and quest for fantasy, Galliano\'s creations make everyone say J\'Adore Dior.
The HALLE BROTHERS CO. was one of Cleveland\'s leading department stores noted for its quality merchandise and service. It opened its doors on 7 Feb. 1891, when brothers Samuel H. and SALMON P. HALLE† bought T. S. Paddock & Co.\'s hat and furrier shop at 221 Superior St. In 1893 the Halles moved their fur business to Euclid Ave. and Sheriff (E. 4th) St., the heart of Cleveland\'s retail activity at that time, and added ready-to-wear clothing to its line of goods.
The early Euclid Ave. location of Halle Bros. Department Store, ca. 1900. WRHS.
Incorporated as Halle Bros. in 1902, the store expanded its operation and prospered, moving up EUCLID AVE.. to E. 12th St. Four years later the store doubled its size and became a full-fledged department store, carrying exclusive merchandise which became the hallmark of its operations. In 1911 sales of about $2.2 million grew to $14.8 million in 1926, and the next year the store opened a new $5 million, 6-story Huron-Prospect Bldg. Although the company sustained losses during the Depression, business grew again after World War II as Halle\'s began developing suburban branches in 1948, completed a $10 million modernization program in 1949, and increased its workforce to over 3,000. However, burdened with an over-expanded downtown store, the company slipped behind the MAY CO. OF CLEVELAND and HIGBEE CO. companies in annual sales. After Chicago\'s Marshall Field purchased Halle Bros.\' 9 stores in 1970, its operations deteriorated, and the Halle family tradition disappeared when Chisholm Halle was forced to resign as president in 1974. The introduction of medium-priced goods did not stem the losses, and in Nov. 1981 Marshall Field sold the then-15 Halle stores to Associated Investors Corp., headed by Jerome Schottenstein, who closed or sold all stores in 1982.

To talk nonsense or to lie. c1885. [In an interview in The World entitled \"How About White Shirts\", a reporter asked a New York streetcar conductor what he thought about efforts to get the conductors to wear white shirts like their counterparts in Chicago. \"Dey\'re talkin\' tru deir hats\" he was quoted as replying.]
Eating Your Hat
There is no such thing as a sure thing, but that\'s where this expression comes from. If you tell someone you\'ll eat your hat if they do something, make sure you’re not wearing your best hat-just in case. [The expression goes back at least to the reign of Charles II of Great Britain and had something to do with the amorous proclivities of \'ol Charlie. Apparently they named a goat after him that had his same love of life which included, in the goat\'s case, eating hats.]
Old Hat
Old, dull stuff; out of fashion. [This seems to come from the fact that hat fashions are constantly changing. The fact of the matter is that hat fashions had not been changing very fast at all until the turn of the 19th Century. The expression therefore is likely about 100 years old.]
Mad As A Hatter
Totally demented, crazy. [Hatters did, indeed, go mad. They inhaled fumes from the mercury that was part of the process of making felt hats. Not recognizing the violent twitching and derangement as symptoms of a brain disorder, people made fun of affected hat-makers, often treating them as drunkards. In the U.S., the condition was called the \"Danbury shakes.\" (Danbury, Connecticut, was a hat-making center.) Mercury is no longer used in the felting process: hat-making -- and hat-makers -- are safe.]
Hat In Hand
A demonstration of humility. For example, \"I come hat in hand\" means that I come in deference or in weakness. [I assume that the origins are from feudal times when serfs or any lower members of feudal society were required to take off their hats in the presence of the lord or monarch (remember the Dr. Seuss book \"The 500 Hats of Bartholomew Cubbins\"?). A hat is your most prideful adornment.]
Pass The Hat
Literally to pass a man\'s hat among members of an audience or group as a means for collecting money. Also to beg or ask for charity. [The origin is self-evident as a man\'s hat turned upside down makes a fine container.]
Tight As Dick\'s Hat Band
Anything that is too tight. [The Dick in this case is Richard Cromwell, the son of England\'s 17th Century \"dictator\", Oliver Cromwell. Richard succeeded his dad and wanted to be king but was quickly disposed. The hatband in the phrase refers to the crown he never got to wear.]
Hat Trick
Three consecutive successes in a game or another endeavor. For example, taking three wickets with three successive pitches by a bowler in a game of cricket, three goals or points won by a player in a game of soccer or ice hockey, etc. [From cricket, from the former practice of awarding a hat to a bowler who dismissed three batsmen with three successive balls.]
Hard Hats
In the 19th Century, men who wore derby hats specifically Eastern businessmen and later crooks, gamblers and detectives. [Derby hats, a.k.a. Bowlers or Cokes, were initially very hard as they were developed in 1850 for use by a game warden, horseback rider wanting protection.] Today, \"Hard Hats\" are construction workers [for obvious reasons].
In One\'s Hat, or In Hat
An expression of incredulity. [Origin unknown. Help us if you can]
Throwing A Hat In the Ring
Entering a contest or a race e.g. a political run for office. [A customer wrote us with the following: \"I read in \"The Language of American Politics\" by William F. Buckley Jr. that the phrase \"throw one\'s hat in the ring\" comes from a practice of 19th Century saloonkeepers putting a boxing ring in the middle of the barroom so that customers who wanted to fight each other would have a place to do so without starting a donnybrook. If a man wanted to indicate that he would fight anybody, he would throw his hat in the ring.
At one point, Theodore Roosevelt declared he was running for office with a speech that included a line that went something like, \"My hat is in the ring and I am stripped to the waist\". The phrase \"my hat in the ring\" stuck, probably because \"I am stripped to the waist\" is a little gross.]
Hats Off . . .
\"Hats off to the U.S. Winter Olympic Team\" for example. An exclamation of approval or kudos. [Origins must be from the fact that taking one\'s hat off or tipping one\'s hat is a traditional demonstration of respect.]
A Feather In Your Cap
A special achievement. [I assume that the origins on this expression hail from the days when, in fact, a feather for one\'s cap would be awarded for an accomplishment much like a medal is awarded today and pinned to one\'s uniform. A feather, or a pin, add a certain prestige or luster to one\'s apparel.]
Hold On To Your Hat(s)
A warning that some excitement or danger is imminent. [When riding horseback or in an open-air early automobile, the exclamation \"hold on to your hat\" when the horse broke into a gallop or the car took-off was certainly literal.]
Bee In Your Bonnet
An indication of agitation or an idea that you can\'t let go of and just have to express. [A real bee in one\'s bonnet certainly precipitates expression.]
Wearing Many Hats
This of course is a metaphor for having many different duties or jobs. [Historically, hats have often been an integral, even necessary, part of a working uniform. A miner, welder, construction worker, undertaker, white-collar worker or banker before the 1960s, chef, farmer, etc. all wear, or wore, a particular hat. Wearing \"many hats\" or \"many different hats\" simply means that one has different duties or jobs.]
All Hat and No Cattle
All show and no substance. For example, in October 2003, Senator Robert Byrd declared that the Bush administration\'s declarations that it wanted the United Nations as a partner in transforming Iraq were \"All Hat and No Cattle\". [This Texas expression refers to men who dress the part of powerful cattlemen, but don\'t have the herds back home.]
To Hang Your Hat (or not)
To commit to something (or not), or stake your reputation on something (or not), like an idea or policy. For example \"I wouldn\'t hang my hat on George Steinbrenner\'s decision to fire his manager.\" [Origin unknown. Can anyone help with this one?]
At the Drop of a Hat
Fast. [Dropping a hat, can be a way in which a race can start (instead of a starting gun for example). Also, a hat is an apparel item that can easily become dislodged from its wearer. Anyone who wears hats regularly has experienced the quickness by which a hat can fly off your head.]
To Tip Your Hat or A Tip of the Hat
An endorsement of respect, approval, appreciation, or the like. Example: \"A tip of the hat to American troops for the capture of Saddam Hussein.\" [This is simply verbalizing an example of hat etiquette. Men would (and some still do) tip their hat to convey the same message.]
My Hat Instead of Myself
This is an expression from Ecuador, home of the \"Panama\" hat. It means what is says; it is preferable to give up your hat than your life. [The Guayas River runs through Guayaquil, Ecuador\'s largest city on the Pacific coast. People from the city were known to hunt alligators for their hides in the river by swimming stark naked wearing Panama hats on their heads and long knives between their teeth. When the reptiles open their jaws and go for the swimmer, he dives leaving his hat floating on the surface for the alligator to chew on while he plunges the knife into the animal\'s vitals. From THE PANAMA HAT TRAIL by Tom Miller.]
Bad Hat
I believe this is a French expression for a bad person. [Ludwig Bemelmans\' MADELINE series of children\'s books, set in France, includes one MADELINE AND THE BAD HAT. In this story Madeline, our heroine, refers to a little boy neighbor as a \"bad hat\". She clearly means this as a metaphor for a bad person and because I do not know the expression in English, I assume this is a common French reference. If anyone out there knows more about this, please drop us an email.]
Hat by Hat
Step by step. [Nevada Barr\'s book SEEKING ENLIGHTENMENT: Hat by Hat means just that. Has anyone heard this expression otherwise? If yes, please email us.]
Keeping Something Under One\'s Hat
Keeping a secret. [People kept important papers and small treasures under their hats. One\'s hat was often the first thing put on in the morning and the last thing taken off at night, so literally keeping things under one\'s hat was safe keeping. A famous practitioner of this was Abraham Lincoln. The very utilitarian cowboy hat was also commonly used for storage.]Here\'s Your Hat, But What\'s Your Hurry
When someone has taken up enough of your time and you want him/her to leave. [Origin unknown.]
Carry His Office in His Hat
Operating a business on a shoestring. [Important papers and the like were often carried in one\'s hat.]
Sets Her Cap
A young lady \"sets her cap\" for a young man who she hopes to interest in marrying her. [Long ago, maidens wore caps indoors because homes were poorly heated. A girl set her most becoming hat on her head when an eligible fellow came to call.]
Thinking Cap
To put on your \"thinking cap\" is to give some problem careful thought. [Teachers and philosophers in the Middle Ages often wore distinctive caps that set them apart from those who had less learning. Caps became regarded as a symbol of education. People put them on (literally or figuratively) to solve their own problems.]
Black Hat . . .
Black hat tactics, black hat intentions, etc. refer to nefarious actions or designs. [Black hats in Western lore and literature were the bad guys.]
White Hat . . .
Although I don\'t see or hear this expression as much as \"Black Hat\", it simply is the opposite of the above. [Good guys wore/wear white hats.]
