Victor Clothing Company was a retail clothing store at 242 S. Broadway, Downtown Los Angeles.
The store reached its heyday in the 1940s and '50s when Broadway was the city's main retail and commercial street and "The Victor" employed more than 50 workers and stocked thousands of men's suits and some furs and dresses for women. In its last decades it was a frequent advertiser on local Spanish-language television. The store closed in 2001, according to the owner due to shrinking customer traffic in the area.[1]
