Halle Bros Co
Halle Brothers Co. of Cleveland, Ohio, commonly referred to as Halle's, was established in 1891 and, during most of its 91-year history Halle's focused on higher-end merchandise combined with impeccable personal service. In relation to clothing, the store initially carried only menswear. Women’s clothing was added later. However, the ladies section expanded rapidly to offer a full range of quality clothing and accessories, as well as high-end costume jewellery and fine jewels. At the peak of its business, Halle Bros employed over 3,000 employees.
Condition
