Broadstreet's

Broadstreet's was a clothing business originally located at 576 - 578 Fifth Avenue in New York City.

Harry Ostrove started a men's store called Broadstreet's around the time of World War I.

By the 1920's, it had grown into a chain of three or four stores; it was sold in 1928, although Mr. Ostrove's father remained as president until 1937.
