The Glove Factory Ends Its Long Downtown Run
Dick Case reports on Marcus Jacobs and the Silverman family lore from Gloversville to Syracuse as the Glove Factory closes its Clinton Street shop. The store evolved from factory to retail, endured urban renewal of 1971, moved to the McCarthy Building and finally to the Empire Building in 1980, while neighbors like Hendricks Photo Supply and Mini-Jack's Deli reflect a stubborn downtown spirit.
