How We Started More Than 70 Years Ago
Back in 1939, two enterprising businessmen - Ed Bodek and Harry Rhodes - each pooled $100 and started a
wholesale clothing business to the retail trade. Ed died a few years later and Harry grew the business. In the 1980's
Harry's son Art saw that his business was growing serving a new market – decorators – who were printing garments
for their clients. That niche transformed the whole focus of our company. Although Harry and Art are gone,
grandson Michael leads this family business that is 100% now dedicated to servicing the imprintable activewear
market: screen printers, embroiderers, promotional products and uniform companies.
