Browning King and Co
Chicago / New York
A US clothing firm founded in 1851 by W. C. Browning. A partnership was formed in Chicago in the 1870s with Henry W King and two stores opened in New York with others in Brooklyn, St. Louis, Boston, Providence, Buffalo, Chicago, Kansas City, Milwaukee, St. Paul, Minneapolis, Omaha, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Pittsburgh and Philadelphia. Always alive to advertising opportunities, they created the Browning King Dance Orchestra to play on WEAF radio in New York in 1923, the first radio sponsorship deal.
In sports they were associated more with baseball (organising father and son days to see the Brooklyn Dodgers and had a large electrical scoreboard above the Grand Street entrance to their Kansas City store) but a "Kings" brand of golfballs also exists.
