This very rare 40 page booklet titled "B. Lowenstein & Bros, was published in 1889.  It's amazing that it has survived and even more amazing that it's in such great condition.  While it's not technically a "Photo Book", it's so very unique that we felt all 40 pages should be posted to this Photo Book Section.  It says a lot about the Lowenstein Dry Goods Company and a lot about the period. 
 

Thanks to Dave French for allowing us to scan and to post the entire book on this website.
