Victor Clothing was a retail clothing store located in the Crocker Building at 212–6 S. Broadway, Downtown Los Angeles from 1926 to 1964 and in the Victor Clothing Company Building at 242 S. Broadway from 1964 to 2001.[1]
The store reached its heyday in the 1940s and '50s when Broadway was the city's main retail and commercial street and "The Victor" employed more than 50 workers and stocked thousands of men's suits and some furs and dresses for women. In its last decades it was a frequent advertiser on local Spanish-language television. The store closed in 2001, according to the owner due to shrinking customer traffic in the area.[2]
