John W. Nordstrom was a Swedish emigrant who arrived in the United States in 1887. He struck gold while prospecting and used this money to open a shoe store, Wallin & Nordstrom with co-founder Carl F. Wallin in 1901. When the company opened its second store in 1923 Nordstromâs son, Elmer J. Nordstrom, was put in charge of it. Elmerâs brother Everett, joined the business in 1928 when he and Elmer bought the co-founders shares when they reached retirement. A third brother, Lloyd, joined the business in 1933.

In November, the continuous attempts to outmaneuver and outflank ended and both sides settled in for a long war based mostly on trench warfare (Michael Duffy November 4th 2012). World War 1 was a war that was fought in the trenches. The majority of battles fought during the war involved trench warfare, including the Battle of the Somme. In this battle, the British heavily bombarded the German army for a week straight. However, the bombardment did not even reach them and the front line trenches were not affected at all.
