Abstract:

In the 1940s Ervin E. Lampert operated the R. W. Norman Company, a successful 50-year-old retail furniture business with stores in Salisbury and Lumberton. However, he recognized the store needed something else to go with the furniture and those items were draperies and bedspreads. This article describes how the store, now called Norman's of Salisbury, became a full-fledged home furnishings establishment known nationwide.
