Informational excerpts about Browning, King & Co. from the 1904 obituary of William Charles Browning (credit to findagrave.com):

“WILLIAM CHARLES BROWNING, dry goods merchant, born in New York city, Nov. 13, 1833, is a son of the late John Hazard Browning, merchant. The young man was educated in his native city. He began business life as a boy in a broker's office, remaining there a little over one year, when he became associated with his father for seven years. In 1858, he formed the firm of Hanford & Browning, succeeded in 1863 by Wm. C. Browning & Co., in which latter firm he associated himself with two brothers. In 1868, the partners established the firm of Browning, King & Co., to represent the manufacturing and retail interests of their clothing trade, their wholesale business being carried on in Chicago under the name of Henry W. King & Co. At the present time, they are the largest manufacturers of clothing in the world. They have retail branches in Chicago, St. Louis, Milwaukee, Cincinnati, Philadelphia, Kansas City, St. Paul, Omaha, New York (Harlem), Minneapolis, Brooklyn, Boston, Lincoln, Providence, and Cleveland. The firm made large contracts for army clothing during the war and were pioneers in the method of bringing their material at manufacturer's prices directly to the consumer through their retail houses. Sound in judgment, able in enterprise, Mr. Browning ranks among the leading merchants of this generation.”
