Description
The Weinstock, Lubin, and Company department store at 4th and K Street, now part of the site of the Downtown Commons shopping center. Half-brothers Harris Weinstock and David Lubin entered into an official business partnership on November 13 of 1875. They did business under the name H. Weinstock and Bro. until 1877 when they changed the name of their firm to Weinstock & Lubin. Together they operated a number of retail, wholesale, and mail order enterprises which employed dozens of women and girls in industrialized garment production in their Mechanics’ Store in addition to reselling premade products purchased at other companies’ liquidation sales. They promoted themselves as a “Cosmopolitan Store” which made fine goods accessible to people in the lowest income brackets.
