Weber and Heilbroner
6th Avenue between 34th and 35th Streets, Manhattan, New York.
Weber and Heilbroner were a men’s clothing retailer founded in 1902 by Milton Weber and Louis Heilbroner. The original Weber and Heilbroner stores were located at 920 3rd Avenue and 757 Broadway at the corner of 8th Street. Throughout the years they grew to have multiple stores in Manhattan and Brooklyn but by the mid-1970s the chain went bankrupt.

If you do a search online you will see a variety of suits, tuxes, scarves, etc. on sale on Etsy and Ebay.
Being a Brooklynite I loved finding these photos of the two Brooklyn Weber and Heilbroner locations—325-341 Adams Street and 381-395 Fulton Street—both located in the Downtown Brooklyn/Fulton Mall area.
