Philip STRAUSS & Co.

Clothiers
No. 245 Grand Street, Brooklyn, E. D.-

This substantial and valuable house was founded as far back as 1859 by 
Mr. Philip Strauss, who conducted it alone until 1877, when he admitted his 
son, Mr. William Strauss, to partnership and organized the present firm. 

The business done is very large and the demand is constantly increasing, the 
popularity of the establishment growing with its years. The premises occupied 
measure 25x- 95 feet, and contain one of the most complete and attractive 
stocks of men's, boys', and youths' clothing to be found in Brooklyn. The 
assortments embrace every grade, from the cheapest to the most expensive, and 
in correctness of style, variety of pattern, excellence of material, and 
artistic finish, the productions represent the very best that the market 
affords. 

Messrs. Strauss & Co. carry no trashy goods, preferring to serve their 
customers with such as are reliable and will bear the most searching examination. 
The prices, however, are fully as low as those asked for inferior clothing elsewhere. 

The firm operate a custom department which necessitates the employment of between 
twenty-five and thirty expert tailors, The garments are made up with every possible 
attention to detail and are perfection in fit, fashion, and workmanship. A full 
stock of foreign and domestic cloths and cassimeres is kept constantly on hand, 
including all the most recent novelties. 

The Messrs. Strauss' are prominent and respected citizens, alive to all the 
demands of the times.
