BROWNING, king & CO.---COLOSSAL CLOTHIERS.
4 Model House and COmprehe

The clothing business in this country
has experienced a revolution both re-
markable and significant in the past
twenty years. This revolution has been
beneficial in bringing the great body OF
purchasers nearer the manufacturer OF
cloth and the makers of garments. The
result has been a steady reduction in the
cost of all grades of clothing and an adj
vance in the methods of perfecting the
material and workmanship that enters
into male wearing apparel.
The fact that a revolution has taken
place in the clothing business, which en-
ables men to-day. whether their means
are limited or unlimited, to supply them
selves with a working, business or dress
suit or garment designed, cut, trimmed,
finished and fitted with faultless exact
ness is due to the sagaeity, enterprise
and liberality of a few manufacturers,
who directed their energies to this eco
nOmic cOnsummatiUn. Chief among
these, and undoubtedly the most sue
cessful, is the great house of Browning,
King & Co. An idea of the proportions
of the business of the firm may be had
from the statement that it owns and
manages, in addition to its colossal
manufacturing operations, the houses OF
Browning, King IL Co., Philadelphia;
Browning, King 81 Co., st. Louis
Browning, King 81 Co., Cincinnati;
Browning, King 81 Co., Milwaukee:
Browning, King & Co., Chicago; Henry
". King & Co., Chicago; and Browning,
Eing & Co., Kansas City.
These houses are the leading establish
ments in their line in the respective
cities in which they are located, and the
record of their success, separately anC

ways has the money

therefore does guar
antee that its gar
ments are not only
the best, but the
cheapest offered to

from a working out
fit to a full dress suit
or the most artistic
design and elaborate
finish.

Browning as part

sides in Chicago and
has personal super
vision of the whole
sale business there.
His practical knOwl-
edge and financial
ability have contrib
uted largely to the
success of the firm,
both in NewYOrk and
throughout the West.
