United Drapery Stores
United Drapery Stores, or UDS, was a British retail group that dominated the British high street from the 1950s to the 1980s.
==Early history==
The group was founded in 1927 and from the outset sought to grow through the takeover of other companies. The company started with five department stores in the London area, but by 1931 this had grown to 112 retail outlets. In 1932 it acquired the business of ''Stewart's Clothiers Ltd'', bringing its number of outlets to 232. A further thirty-seven shops were added to the business in 1950 when it took over the Scottish clothes chain ''Claude Alexander''. In 1953 it saw its biggest expansion through the acquisition of ''Prices Tailors Limited'', a Leeds multiple tailoring firm. Prices had been founded in 1907 by Henry Price, and traded under the Fifty Shilling Tailors brand, with 399 stores across the country. After the takeover by UDS, the chain was renamed John Collier.
