Strauss Brothers Jewelers
Strauss Brothers Jewelers had its beginning in 1929. The first location was an upstairs room in the First Avenue Building. From there they moved to a downstairs location on East Central Avenue. In 1937 Strauss Bros. moved to the Leland Hotel Building until they finally they moved to 19 South Main Street. Straus Bros. featured Keepsake Diamonds and Longine Watches. Also in the store were Bulova watches, Wedgewood China, Heirloom and International Sterling Silver and more.
I just received a set of King Christian Sterling that was my grandparents. Inside the Sterling box was price listing from August of 1941 from Straus Brothers Jewelry and Gift Shop, Minot, N. Dak. No other address. A regular Tea Spoon was $1.13.
