Birth of a Knitwear Empire in Brooklyn Store

The firm expands to 571 Ful ton Street and grows into a nationwide knitwear chain offering Knitted Hosiery and Underwear with mills added to meet demand. By 1922 1923 the business aims to reach millions in volume as it enters Bridgeport to extend its retail presence.
