J. Reichenbach winter-clothing advertisement

A full-page advertisement presents J. Reichenbach as a large clothing manufacturer and retailer, with 1,500 winter coats and its own workshops.

Object record

The advertisement is significant because it documents scale, in-house manufacture and the firm’s use of the ducal court-purveyor title in 1902. The phrase “eigener Fabrikation” and reference to the firm’s own workshops show that the business represented itself as more than a retail counter.
