Jacoby Bros.
Jacoby Bros. was one of Los Angeles' largest dry goods retailers in the 1880s and 1890s.
Isaac, Nathan, Charles, Abraham, and Lessor Jacoby went into business in 1878, joining with Leopold Harris in buying out Herman W. Hellman's store. The Jacoby brothers, Leopold Harris and Harris Newmark all came from the same town of Löbau, West Prussia. The Jacobys sold clothing, home furnishings, boots, shoes, hats, et al., both wholesale and retail.
During the 1880s the store was located in the Temple Block.
Later, it occupied new sixty-foot frontage with two elevators at 331-333-335 S. Broadway in 1900.
In the early 1930s they sold out to May Company, as A. Hamburger & Sons had done the decade prior.
