By 1914 it was large enough to accept an order from the British government for one million sweaters to outfit soldiers fighting in World War I. Unfortunately, the shipment was loaded upon the Lusitania, which was sunk by a German U-boat in May, 1915. The order was duplicated, and when the US entered the war, Bradley made sweaters for the US Army as well. The Bradley slogan was “Slip into a Bradley and out-of-doors.” They were primarily a maker of sportswear, especially knit wool bathing suits and athletic sweaters. Several major league baseball teams had team sweaters made by Bradley, and Babe Ruth was pictured in 1926 on the cover of the Saturday Evening Post wearing his Bradley sweater. The Art Deco Bradley plant, built in 1923, is on the National Register of Historic Places.
