Cohen Brothers : the big store by Ennis Davis.
Once known as the Wanamaker of the South, Cohen Brothers department store captured the hearts of thousands of Jacksonville residents. This history covers its beginnings as a dry goods enterprise in a small log cabin to its growth into a trend-setting retail institution and the final poignant closing of its doors. "... interviews with former employees, stories from the vibrant atmosphere the store created and memories from longtime residents to bring readers back to the bright glow and elegance of one of the South's most distinctive enterprises."
