A Girl Named Carrie

Jerrie Marcus Smith remembers her great aunt Carrie as a humourless woman who always wore black and who, Jerrie says, ‘scared me to death’. Only as an adult did Jerrie grasp the impact of Carrie Marcus Neiman. Along with her brother, Herbert Marcus Sr, and her husband A. L. Neiman, Carrie co-founded the famed Neiman Marcus department store.
