SANGER BROTHERS.
Sanger Bros. the pioneer dry goods
house of Texas started from a very
small beginning in 1858 re-established
after the war with only three em-
ployers in 1865. It has grown to be
the pride of the State of Texas the
largest wholesale and retail mercan-
tile establishment in the entire South
with 1250 persons on the pay roll and
conspicuous not only for its wealth
and the magnitude of its yearly
transactions but for the high person-
al character of the important services
both in time of peace and war ren-
dered to the country of their adoption
by the gentlemen who founded the in-
stitation. The house of Sanger Brothers is a
excellent example of what correct
business habits can accomplish with
small capital. Enterprising and patri-
otic Sanger Brothers believe in keep
ing abreast of the times and their
success has been phenomenal. Num-
bered among the most progressive
and public spirited always foremost
in every enterprise that promises the
best welfare of the community. Integ-
rity sincerity liberality in dealing
and courteous service are the poten-
tialities that spell the Sanger suc-
cess. Sixty-three years ago the business
began in a small way with but little
cash and less credit. Looking back
over the past it reflects a steady
progress from the inception of the
business prior to the war when San-
ger & Baum in Weatherford in 1858
opened their store in a 2-story con-
crete building size 20x58. After the
war L. and P. Sanger commenced
business in Millican in 1865 in a one-
story frame building size 40x75. In
these early days the stock consisted of
Dry goods bowie knives ham lard
harness pistols plows and saddles.
From there the store of Sanger Bros
began its career of expansion and de-
velopment which uninteruppted has
continued until now it is a fully de-
veloped institution with immense
buildings of statewide renown and a
national reputation.
Millican in 1865 was the terminus
of the Houston and Texas Central R.
R. As the road advanced northward
the business followed to the next ter-
minal locating at Bryan Hearne Cal-
vert Kosse Bremond Groesbeck and
Corsicana where at the latter place
in the house of Sanger establishing
Alexander Sanger became a partner
in the house of Sanger. The store fin-
ally settled in Dallas in 1872 Alex
Sanger establishing the business in a
2-story brick on Main street opposite
the court house.
In 1900 the retail section occupied
the building on Main Elm and Lamar
