Brusers Limited had its beginning in the summer of 1910. The original building, a 24 ft by 40 ft. frame structure was purchased from Godfried Schaeffer by Clement Bruser and Maurice Cates.
The first ad for the new business, placed in the Humboldt Journal dated Sept. 1, 1910, boasts: |
-Men’s Ties - reg. $0.25 now $0.10 -Suits - reg. $12 to $15 now $9.75 Cates, Bruser and Co. Successors to G. Schaeffer." Mr. Cates was with the firm for little over a year, then sold his shares to Ben Bruser, who later went into business on his own, and Clement Bruser became the sole owner. A new building was constructed in 1918 and incorporated in 1923 to Brusers Limited. Shareholders included Dave Gloeckler, Ben Ackerman and Sid Greenberg. After 55 years in operation, Brusers closed its doors.
The April 1, 1965 edition of the Humboldt Journal ran an ad as follows: |
