Bromberg's : An Alabama Tradition for 150 Years

by J. Morgan Smith.

I recently came across this book in the Bruno Library collection and had to browse it. I have heard of the Bromberg's name for as far back as I can recall b/c of it's advertising associated with Alabama football. One of the unique things about Bromberg's (the family name is Prussian) is that it is one of the oldest family owned businesses in the USA and the oldest in Alabama. Bromberg's (est. 1836) is one year older than another famous jewelry store business, i.e. Tiffany & Co. of NY. This short (95 pg.) heavily illustrated book (index included) is an entertaining and informative book. The Brombergs first settlement in AL was in Mobile.

As a business librarian I am obviously interested in business stories and this one is sure to please others like me.

Happy reading,
