Interesting how many products like that are ingrained in our mind from tv and game show credits.
"Dicker and Dicker from Beverly Hills" and "McCormick in the east, Schilling in the west" are two more.
H Daroff and Sons manufactured suits under the Botany name for years. Their old factory is now a luxury apartment building, 1 block away from where I used to live (Riverloft). I think they had another brand, "The House of Worsted-Tex". The Daroff family were, and are, known for their philanthropic efforts in Philadelphia. Here's a link to a photo of the factory, now apartments:

Phil forgot the Spiegel Catalog, Chicago, Illinois, 60609.

Botany '500' represented the very best in quality apparel for men who wanted to look good and feel their best.
