Richman Brothers was a retail men's clothing chain in the United States. It was a subsidiary of the F. W. Woolworth Company.
Richman was founded in Ohio in 1853. [1] It came to be known as a men’s fine clothing store. Though initially the stores would sell only men’s suits, coats, and hats, [2] during the last years of its existence it also sold women’s clothing. There were several stores across the United States, including Nebraska [3] and Indiana.
The company allowed its workers to purchase stock below market price, and provided funds for supporting the staff during downturns. As a result of their worker-friendly policies they had little labor trouble during the Depression. [4]
Richman closed in the early 1990s.
