in 1896 the makers of Monroe Clothes started with a capital of $700.
Their purpose was to manufacture better
clothes for less money. Headquartered at
55 5th Avenue in
NYC, by 1915 they were operating 11
large stores in New York, 10 in New
Jersey, 15 in total across the country.
In the city of New York they did not
sell to retailers. Throughout the
country, however, they connected with
reliable and responsible dealers who
contract to sell their clothes.
"America's largest Clothier," Monroe
Clothes advertised Quality made Men's
suits at a economic price - $25.00,
$30.00, $35.00. Over 5000,000 New York
men are Monroe Clothes wearers.
The illustrated "Big League Style, at Monroe Prices" advertisement in the
September 27, 1919 Saturday Evening

the Polo Grounds. Yes, back in the day,
"When We Wore Fedora's" men wore suits
to the ball park. A billboard atop the
grandstands boasts "Monroe Guaranteed

caption below reads "When New York
packs the Polo Grounds well-dressed
