Founded as the Fine Gauge Knitwear Company in 1949 by Arthur Dery and Maurice Saltzman, the company produced women's cashmere and woolen garments. In 1956 the company changed its name to Dalton of America and diversified its product lines to include knitted and woven outerwear. In 1957, Dery bought out Saltzman. The company was moved to Willoughby, Ohio, in 1962, where it continued under the name Dalton Apparel until its closure in 1986. The collection consists of advertisements, sales books, order forms, and a poster. http://catalog.wrhs.org/collections/view?docId=ead/MS5052.xml Wed, 01 Jan 2014 12:00:00 GMT http://catalog.wrhs.org/collections/view?docId=ead/MS5051.xml The Federal Knitting Mills Company was founded in Cleveland, Ohio in 1905 by several Jewish businessmen. The company produced knit goods, including sweaters, and also supplied fabric to the garment-making industry. The company's national accounts included Sears, Roebuck & Co., Montgomery Ward, and Marshall Field & Co. At its height, the company employed five hundred people at its 125,000 square foot plant. Following the passage of the National Labor Relations Act in 1937, several unions attempted to replace the Cooperative Workers Association, the company union for Federal Knitting Mills. An ensuing strike related to this matter seriously strained the company's finances. Federal Knitting Mills dissolved in December 1937. The collection consists of audit reports, balance sheets, correspondence, legal documents, minutes, newspaper clippings, and a scrapbook. http://catalog.wrhs.org/collections/view?docId=ead/MS5051.xml Wed, 01 Jan 2014 12:00:00 GMT http://catalog.wrhs.org/collections/view?docId=ead/MS5425.xml Cleveland, Ohio, played a prominent role in the garment industry in the United States from the late nineteenth century to the industry's decline a century later. Most of the owners of garment manufacturing firms in Cleveland, as throughout the United States, were owned by Jewish immigrants. The garment industry in Cleveland declined as a whole in the late twentieth century. In the early 2010s, the Western Reserve Historical Society began making efforts toward compiling the stories of the Cleveland garment industry through research and oral history interviews, culminating in a book and exhibition project titled A Stitch in Time: The Cleveland Garment Industry. The collection consists of budgets, correspondence, drafts, memoranda, newspaper clippings, notes, operating agreements, oral histories, orders, photographs, proposals, questionnaires, scrapbooks, and sketches pertaining to the planning, research, and implementation of the "Stitch in Time" project by the Western Reserve Historical Society. http://catalog.wrhs.org/collections/view?docId=ead/MS5425.xml Mon, 01 Jan 2018 12:00:00 GMT
