Background on Petzke Bros.
Petzke Bros (Petzke Brothers) was a historic merchant tailoring firm established in Cleveland, Ohio, during the late 19th century. The business originated from a tailoring partnership formed in 1879 between Gustav Stern and his brother-in-law, master tailor Otto Petzke, called Petzke & Stern. In 1887, Otto\'s brother, Albert Petzke, joined the firm, prompting a name change to Petzke, Stern & Co.. They operated out of prominent Cleveland addresses, including St. Clair Avenue and Euclid Avenue. Around 1891, Gustav Stern departed from the business. Following his exit, the remaining brothers formally retitled the partnership Petzke Bros.Please let me know if you have any questions and thanks for looking!!
