Item
Frederick Loeser & Co. was a department store in Brooklyn, New York in operation from 1860 to 1952. The flagship store on Fulton Street was one of the largest department stores in Brooklyn, and eventually the company opened satellite storefronts in Bay Shore and Garden City, Long Island. The company folded in 1952 following a post-WWII decline in profits.
