Levy Brothers "Matchless Clothiers" Matchbox


Matchbox advertising Levy Brothers "Matchless Clothiers" in Louisville, Kentucky. Contains three original matches. The box commemorates Levy Brothers, a prominent clothing supplier for Confederate troops during and after the Civil War, known for its high-quality clothing and its five-story department store at Third and Market Streets, built in 1893. The company was noted for its well-lit store, leading to the expression "lit up like Levy's" by 1908. Circa 1885.
