Only 10 pre-WWII store buildings still operating with same name?

According to sfpaul900 at remembering _retail, now that Carson Pirie Scott & Co. is closing its downtown Chicago store, and Marshall Field & Company is becoming Macy's a block away, there are only about 10 pre-WWII department store buildings still operating with their original names.

Bloomingdale's 59th & Lexington, NYC 1886
Macy's Herald Square, NYC 1902
Macy's Parkchester, Bronx, NYC, 1941
Saks Fifth Avenue, NYC 1924
Saks Fifth Avenue, Wilshire Blvd, Beverly Hills 1938
Bergdorf-Goodman, NYC 1928
Lord & Taylor, NYC 1914
Lord & Taylor, Manhasset, NY 1941
Neiman-Marcus, Dallas 1914
Boston Store, Milwaukee (I don't know the date, but it looks to be1920's vintage)

Can anyone think of any others?
