Object record
This 1964 Boston directory entry lists Banner Sportswear Inc. at 116 Harrison Avenue, eighth floor, as a ladies’ sportswear business. It names Dolph Reichenbach as president, Jos Barth as treasurer and Louis Krasher as vice-president. The entry places Dolf in Boston’s garment trade in 1964, but it does not establish when the company began or how its ownership was divided. It is not the entry for Adolfo Sardiña and not Banner Bros. of Jamaica Plain.
