BOBBIE BROOKS
Bobbie Brooks was founded and owned by Maurice Saltzman. It was based in Cleveland, Ohio, and in 1959, became the first woman's garment-making company to be listed on the New York Stock Exchange. During the 1960s, Bobbie Brooks was one of the five largest garment manufacturers in the US, with fifteen factories producing 18,000,000 garments a year.
Bobbie Brooks used an organized plan of choosing which garments to manufacture. This plan utilized a comsumer board made up of 600 of their targeted consumers - junior-sized teens and young women. The company is now owned by Garan.
