Within a few years he was doing an annual volume of $15 million, an unusual sum in those days. He made two million copies of a classic shirtwaist dress that sold for $12.95 and was worn by such women as Ginger Rogers and Elizabeth Impellitteri, whose husband, Vincent R., was the Mayor of New York in the early 1950's. He was born on the Lower East Side of Manhattan to Rose and Max Rosenfeld and grew up in the Bronx with five sisters and a brother. He was a shipping clerk for a dress manufacturer before working up to salesman in 1933. He promised his mother he would be a millionaire by the time he was 35 years old and made it with a few months to spare. His spare, casual dress styles, priced from $8.95 to $25, swept the country in the 1940's. During his heyday, he was called the Henry Ford of the dress business, as well as the Christian Dior from the Bronx."***Excellent Condition ~ Crisp & clean ~ Looks like new * Petticoats sold separately * *If estimated shipping rate is quoted too high, please message me with your zip code or country for an exact rate
