When she became president in 1945, her salary was $110,000.\u00a0 Can you imagine a woman making that kind of money in 1945?<\/p>\n<p>Of course, I can&#8217;t neglect her sister, Elsie, who was an artist.\u00a0 Elsie convinced Dorothy that the two of them should make a set of dolls, called the 5 Little Shavers.\u00a0 They were introduced at Lord and Taylor.\u00a0 Dorothy had quite an entrepreneurial sense about her and created positions for herself in the company that lead to increasingly more upwardly mobile titles.<\/p>\n<p>In 1932 she created a program, The American Look, to feature American designers and she also revolutionized the composition of store window displays.\u00a0 So, perhaps that&#8217;s where the children came by their creative, entrepreneurial and marketing talents.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_3113\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3113\" style=\"width: 291px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.casartcoverings.com\/casartblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/04\/casart_coverings_dorothy_shaver_casartblog.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-3113 size-full\" title=\"casart_coverings_dorothy_shaver_casartblog\" src=\"https:\/\/www.casartcoverings.com\/casartblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/04\/casart_coverings_dorothy_shaver_casartblog.jpg\" alt=\"Where did it come from for Dorothy Saver - her creativity and entrepreneurial spirit on casartblog\" width=\"291\" height=\"288\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-3113\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Dorothy Shaver, Lord &amp; Taylor President, 1945<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>But wait a minute.\u00a0 What is it that I recall about a long ago French relative of my father&#8217;s mother?\u00a0 Well, I had to look it up but I think I&#8217;ve got the greats correct.\u00a0 My great, great, great, great grandfather was an architect named Louis Francois Trouard who was commissioned by Louis XV in 1758 to design and construct the Hotel de Crillon in Paris; one of the oldest and most exclusive luxury hotels in the world.\u00a0\u00a0 The hotel occupies one of two identical buildings.\u00a0 The other is the French Naval Ministry.<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s also a painter, Evariste Vital Luminais, who became one of the favored painters of Napoleon III because the subjects of most of his paintings were historical or mythical French heroes or peasants of the Breton region.\u00a0 Today, his art hangs in the Musee de Orsay.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_3115\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3115\" style=\"width: 384px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.casartcoverings.com\/casartblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/04\/casart_coverings_luminais_casartblog.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-3115 size-full\" title=\"casart_coverings_luminais_casartblog\" src=\"https:\/\/www.casartcoverings.com\/casartblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/04\/casart_coverings_luminais_casartblog.jpg\" alt=\"Where did it come from for Evariste Vital Luminais creative painter cousin on casartblog\" width=\"384\" height=\"288\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.casartcoverings.com\/casartblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/04\/casart_coverings_luminais_casartblog.jpg 384w, https:\/\/www.casartcoverings.com\/casartblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/04\/casart_coverings_luminais_casartblog-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 384px) 100vw, 384px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-3115\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Evariste Vital Luminais, circa 1884<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>I always dreamed of one daughter writing a children&#8217;s book and another one illustrating it.\u00a0 Well, so far, that hasn&#8217;t happened but there&#8217;s always tomorrow and the next day.\u00a0 Right now this writer is busy decorating her home.<\/p>\n<p>Two of the girls did go into business together, with me, to form <a href=\"https:\/\/www.casartcoverings.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Casart Coverings<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>My son has an outdoor advertising company in New Orleans, appropriately named <a title=\"Pelican_Billboards\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pelicanbillboards.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Pelican Billboards<\/a>.\u00a0 He is terrific at marketing and, like his father, always thinking of new ideas.\u00a0 I think he&#8217;d like for us to do &#8220;slipcovers&#8221; for billboards!<\/p>\n<p>So, where did it come from?
