N J Rabensburg Was the "Successor" to A W Brill
The Austin American newspaper dated June 27, 1937 gave notice to the public of N J Rabensburg as the "Successor" to A W Brill. Brill would have been August W Brill, the founder and owner. N J Rabensburg is now in control of the A W Brill Company located on a corner at 300 E 6th Street in downtown Austin.
The Bastrop Advertiser newspaper dated September 26, 1935, however, provides an earlier date for possession by N J Rabensburg by almost two years. The property address at that time was next door to 300 E 6th Street at 302 E 6th Street.
These two newspaper notices are probably a series of repeat notices to the public of N J Rabensburg's control of the A W Brill Company both in Austin and surrounding towns. The 1937 notice in the Austin American newspaper also provides a change of store address.
By 1935, the Brill family apparently has little or no involvement with the Company or with the making or selling of leather products including the "Brill" holster.
