Israel Myers was 16 years old in 1923 when he went to work as a part-time stenographer at the Londontown Clothing Company. Londontown, which had been founded in Baltimore, Maryland, a year earlier, made finely tailored men's clothing and topcoats. The relationship between Myers and Londontown would last more than 40 years, but it almost did not survive the Depression. Londontown failed in 1930, but Myers bought the name and the physical assets in 1931 and kept the company making men's clothing. In the process, he become president and chairman. As he told the Baltimore News American in 1971, "If I had a good job offer, I probably would have taken it. But there were no jobs available, [and] I had worked hard and saved my money." When the United States entered World War II, Myers accepted a Navy contract to make rubber-based waterproof coats for enlisted men, even though he knew nothing about the procedure for doing so. When the war ended, Myers changed the name of his company to Londontown Manufacturing Company and continued on.
