Corps of seamstresses is kept^ busy altering costumes in stock and producing others to order. World’s Greatest Secondhand Clothing Store Brooks, With 175,000 Costumes, Can Even Outfit An Elephant Flo Ziegfeld’s extravaganzas put New York’s Brooks Costume Co. into show business, and not even an order for ballet skirts for a herd of elephants has been able to get it out. The famed old firm (founded in 1910) got its start by supplying uniforms for bands. Since those days, it has garbed thou¬ sands of stage and TV performers. On its three block-long floors of shelves, ready for rental, are 175,000 assorted get ups, valued at $5,000,000. It stocks dressmaker’s forms in the dimensions of many regular customers, so any¬ thing from a leopard’s skin to a Ty¬ rolean mountaineer’s outfit can be whipped up on short order for them. ^ Gertrude Berg dons dummy-fitted dress.
