A Little History 
In 1956, presses were introduced into the powder bars enabling the made-to-order powder to be compressed into a compact. The press used a hydraulic hand pump to compress the powder and had a gauge at the top to let the operator know when enough pressure had been generated to avoid cracking the cake. The resulting thin wafer was placed into a Charles of the Ritz compact and a puff added before it was handed to the client

Above: 1956 Charles of the Ritz powder bar in San Francisco. The blending expert on the left is checking a powder match. She is working in ideal conditions for this due to the ample sunlight streaming in from the window to her right. The other consultant is using a powder press, only partly visible, to make up a compact while giving instructions, answering questions or making further sales. At the back a woman is viewing the effect of her made-to-order powder in the mirror of her compact (LIFE).

A set of equipment associated with a Charles of the Ritz powder bar that came up for sale included two metal cylinders along with the usual jars, scales and press. It is possible that these were used for additional mixing of the powder before it was placed in the press as they seem to be about the same diameter as a compact; however, this is just speculation.

Left: The cylinders to the left and right of the press suggest that they have been used to further mix the powder or to settle it in the pan before it was compressed. Right: A close-up of the top of the press showing the pressure gauge and the open and close switch.

HistoryEdit

BeginningsEdit

Carson Pirie Scott logo used between 1946 through 1978.
Carson Pirie Scott Logo used from 1978 through the company's sale to Bergner in 1989. The box design and "& Co." suffix was dropped in 1986; this later variant of the logo could still be found on older store signage through the company's end.
Final Carson Pirie Scott logo before the name was shortened, which adopted the red insignia and font of Bergner's.

The chain began in 1854 when Scotsmen Samuel Carson and John Pirie first clerked in the Murray's dry goods store in Illinois

In 1871, the Great Chicago Fire destroyed 60% of the store's stock.

John Edwin Scott operated a dry goods store He later moved up to Chicago and became the first partner of Samuel Carson and John T. Pirie in the ownership of a dry goods store, well known today as Carson Pirie Scott & Co. Two of John Scott's sons, Robert L. and Frederick H., were members of the department store firm.

In 1961, Carson Pirie Scott & Co. greatly expanded in Illinois  purchasing the 20 unit Block & Kuhl chain headquartered
