| Abstract: |
 Bobbie Brooks, Inc  . was founded in 1939 as Ritmore Sportswear in Cleveland, Ohio. Its founders were Maurice Saltzman and Max Reiter. In 1953,
Saltzman bought out Reiter's share of the company. The name was changed to Bobbie Brooks in 1960. Bobbie Brooks produced and
sold stylish clothes for teenage and junior-miss girls, coordinating the styling, colors, and fabrics. Eventually, the company
expanded its line to include apparel for women aged 25 to 44. The company merged with Pubco Corporation in 1985 after encountering
serious financial difficulties. The collection consists of advertisements, annual reports, articles, booklets, catalogues,
notices, reports, and workbooks.
