Biography of Dale T. Smith
Neiman Marcus was founded in Dallas, Texas in 1907 as a specialty store with an early reputation for high quality. “The Store,” as it was called by the co-founder’s son and longtime C.E.O., Stanley Marcus, expanded its reputation over the next century to become known as a standard in luxury department store retail, a showcase of fashion, art, and culture, and a unique, curated shopping experience. Dallas native and veteran Neiman Marcus employee, Dale T. Smith, gifted his personally collected artifacts and store memorabilia to the University of North Texas Libraries Special Collections in 2021.
