Anderson and Albert Little. Anderson had been born in Russia and came to America as a teen; before co-founding Anderson-Little, he had worked for Singer Sewing Machine and managed firms, including the Morris B. Anderson Clothing Company. In the 1930s – perhaps 1933, the company relocated to Fall River, Massachusetts, then a textile manufacturing center. The company opened a retail store in Fall River in 1936, and after World War II, they opened their first factory showroom (a store in a factory), becoming a pioneer of factory–to–consumer retailing. These outlets were relatively austere operations with suits being hung on racks made of pipes assembled by company hands. Their main slogan and jingle for decades, "The Best Factory Makes the Best Clothing," emphasized the manufacturing side of the business. In 1956, the Fall River factory was producing 3000 garments every week and had employed over 1000 people. 1969 Richman Brothers (including Anderson–Little) was acquired by the retail giant Woolworth. During the time of Woolworth's ownership, Dallas Cowboys quarterback Roger Staubach served as the company's celebrity spokesman
