ABE SCHRADER
 

(1900-2001) Born in Poland, Abe Schrader immigrated to the US as a young man.  He began in the garment business as a contract jobber, and in 1952 he formed the Abe Schrader Corporation.  His Seventh Avenue  ready-to-wear house made up-scale dresses , coats and suits for women.  Beginning in 1953, the head designer at Abe Schrader was Belle Saunders.

In the 1980s Abe Schrader produced a line by designer Pauline Trigere - "A Trigere Coat."  Trigere claimed she had met Schrader, who was known for his love of dancing,  on the  dance floor at El Morroco.

Abe Schrader sold his business to Interco in 1984, and continued to work for another four years.  In 1990, Interco tried to sell the label, but ended up  closing the line and taking the loss.
