The Weinberg family opened their first shoe and clothing store in Cripple Creek in 1893. After the 1896 fires, they constructed an Italianate-styled building there. Two years later, they sold it to M. Glauber, who operated the Globe Clothier at that location until the May Clothing Company bought him out in 1902. May Clothing had been started by David May in Leadville in 1877, and by the time the company opened its Cripple Creek store, May already owned the Famous Clothing Store in St. Louis and a department store in Cleveland. In 1957, the May Company acquired the Daniels & Fischer Stores and renamed its Denver stores May D & F.
