Ostroff &amp; Sousa Co. was a dry goods clothing store at 92 Gorham Street in Lowell, established in the mid-1900's by Manuel E. Sousa, Antonio F.

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Depiction of Manuel E. Sousa and Antonio C. Picanso (Picanco)&#039;s clothing store on 99 and 103 Gorham Street in Lowell, MA. This store became the successor to Ostroff &amp; Sousa Co.  in October of 1912 when it was renamed to Picanco-Sousa &amp; Co., though the name was often shortened to &quot;P. Sousa &amp; Co.&quot; in advertisements. In addition to being a partner of this company, Anthony C. Picanso was well-known for being one of the founding members of the St. Anthony&#039;s Church in Lowell, MA. <br />
In 1919, the store became Sousa P. &amp; Co., Inc. and Picanso served as the company&#039;s Secretary while Sousa served as Treasurer. In March of 1923, the store would move to 90 Middlesex Street, and after Picanso&#039;s death in 1924, Sousa would continue serving as the treasurer of the business.<br />
Sousa (left) and Picanso (right) are pictured on the right side of the photograph. Their wives, Mary Avila Picanso and Josephine Sousa, likely stand to their left.]]></dcterms:description>
