Description

This oblong clothing brush advertises S. Dreifuss and Bro. Clothier, located at 50 Front Street in Milton.

Five years after emigrating from Germany, Sam Dreifuss started the company in 1873. Shortly after, his brother Wolf joined and the company was renamed "S. Dreifuss and Bro." The store was destroyed during the 1880 fire, but was rebuilt.
