Illustrated Souvenir Album (1895)
THE FRANKEL CLOTHING COMPANY.
The Frankel Clothing Company, 413 and 415 Walnut street, was opened for business March 22, 1894, for a general retail business in men's and boys' clothing, hats and men's furnishings. The company is composed of M. and A. Frankel, who also operate a store in Oskaloosa, Iowa. From the very start they met with success in Des Moines, and now take rank as one of the leading clothing establishments in the city as well as in the State. Selling only honest, defendable clothing at reasonable prices, they have made a reputation for themselves that is State-wide. Besides the large city trade, they supply a good part of the people of the surrounding towns with their clothing, their mail order business keeping pace with their growth at home. The proprietors are young, vigorous men, full of push, and fully experienced in the clothing business. They believe in keeping abreast of the times, and with a handsomely appointed store and a well-selected corps of clerks, they are well prepared to hold and increase their trade.
