Page renovation complete!

I added a full length history, images, more links, and the logo before the Macy's merge. As for the locations, they were basically located in most Florida malls.

While it's encouraging to see considerable development of the article on Burdines, I'm inclined to say that this or any article in Wikipedia is never immune to continuing improvement. The constantly evolving exchange of ideas and information is what makes Wikipedia so valuable. Hopefully, this is only the first of several major upgrades to this article. It keeps getting better and better! — ArkansasTraveler 14:02, 16 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Clean-Up Tag

Added tag. Numerous grammatical mistakes and stylistic problems. Factual issues. I will try to get some of these when I get a chance, but let's collaborate on this important page. Captaintruth 00:14, 2 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

carriage-trade store

This sentence in the opening paragraph is meaningless to the average reader (and missing a comma): "Historically Burdines was known as the carriage-trade store in Florida". I'm tempted to remove it but I don't know if its trying to convey something useful. Is it trying to say that the chain was previously named "The Carriage-Trade Store" or is it trying to indicate that the chain was a "carriage trade store" (I could find few references to "carriage trade stores" in Google).

Burdines catered to a wealthier clientele than Sears or J.C. Penney. The phrase "carriage trade" is fairly commonly used to describe a store catering to the well-off. Horologium t-c 01:48, 26 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
