Excerpt:
It was the early 1960s when two men moved from New York to Los Angeles to develop and grow the apparel industry in California. I refer to them as the fathers of the apparel industry. Sam Simon joined Manufacturers Bank and Bud Schoenholz was with United Factors. These two icons joined forces to provide the capital for entrepreneurs to start apparel companies that would grow into major businesses in the California market.
