Fain Knitwear Opens Stores in Brooklyn and Plans Bridgeport Entry
Seven years after Irving Fain opened a small Brooklyn shop at 902 Park Avenue with three knitting machines the firm expanded to 571 Fulton Street and began a rapid growth. The company touts direct-to-consumer sales, added mills, and a growing chain of Famousfain stores and distributors offering men women and children knitwear, hosiery, and underwear. The note ends with a wish to serve Bridgeport faithfully as a city institution.
