Notes

Le Bon Marche is considered to be the oldest modern day department store, opening in the 1850's. "Lavalliere" may be the name of the make. Lavalliere was the fashionable mistress of King Louis XVI. The only stores were in France, whether they sold their products overseas at other stores would need research
