It's a posessive which ends in an s.  It's also an abbreviation ending in a 
period.  The apostrophe comes after the period.
It could have been written Brothers's, or Bros.'s, but that trailing s is more 
and more being left off.
I have checked against the print copy and "say" and "Bros.'" are both what's on 
the page.
You will find other oddities.  <grin>
