Does anyone know of the old NYC Dept store which had the name Strauss in it: (something) & Strauss? circa 1900?

I have a handpainted, gold layed, glass snuff-box with part of the original label on it. Am wondering what the store was called.

Cheers, Chris

Isidor Straus owned Macy's Department Store and later Abraham and Straus. He and his wife perished on the Titanic.

Ronnie wrote a lot- read it if you haven't already. I've been to the web site for the Titanic but I've never read these accts. Thanks to Ashley for bring it up and Ronnie for posting it. Doris

'I am' is reportedly the shortest sentence in the English lang. Could it be that 'I do' is the longest?
