this report asks whether , and how , western garment brands can operate fairly in the fledgling democracy of myanmar . the garment industry is one of the most labour - intensive manufacturing industries in the world . clothing companies are constantly on the look - out for production locations that can make clothes more quickly and at lower costs . over the past few years , myanmar has rapidly become a popular sourcing destination for the garment industry – due to a huge pool of cheap labour and favourable trading conditions . however , conditions for workers in this industry are far from acceptable .

bond stores was organized in maryland on march 19 , 1937 by the consolidation of bond clothing company , a maryland corporation , and its subsidiary , bond stores , incorporated . the principal executive offices of the corporation were located at 261 fifth avenue , new york , new york .
( a 1997 article from the new york times about the bond clothing store signs . )
within the retail trade industry , employment in men ' s and women ' s clothing stores , shoe stores , and jewelry , luggage , and leather goods stores decreased from 1990 to 2011 . in contrast , industries such as children ' s and infant ' s clothing ( 118 . 6 percent ) , cosmetic and beauty supply stores ( 82 . 3 percent ) , family clothing ( 63 . 2 percent ) , and clothing accessories stores ( 57 . 0 percent ) all experienced an increase in employment from 1990 to 2011 . from 1990 to 2007 , employment in family clothing stores increased from 273 , 700 jobs to 539 , 800 jobs , or 97 . 2 percent . since 2007 , the family clothing stores industry has lost 93 , 100 jobs , or 17 . 2 percent .

the bond clothing store opened its doors in cleveland , oh in 1914 and started out as a cheap men ' s suit retailer . it quickly became one of the country ' s biggest clothing retailers and by 1924 , it had expanded into a national chain with 28 stores in cities across the us .
and new electronic billboards cover much of the spot where the bond clothes sign once stood . however , bond 45 sports a flashy neon sign which draws inspiration from the original bond clothes sign ( complete with a clock dial - style o ) that recalls a time when neon reigned supreme and the bond clothes outlet was new york ' s

the earlier bond sign on the second floor , with the clock dial in the letter o , was retained . mr . leigh says he believes he also designed this sign when bond first moved in .
but no one has yet equaled the colossal exhortations of douglas leigh ' s 1948 bond clothing store ' s sign . it lasted only six years , but some fragments still peep out from under the latest advertisements .
correction : april 6 , 1997 , sunday the streetscapes column last sunday , about the elaborate advertising sign built in 1946 atop the former bond clothing store in times square , misstated the wording that was part of the display . the wording was , ' ' every hour 3 , 490 people buy at bond . ' '

is the building above not the coolest thing you have ever seen ? do you know where this building used to be in downtown cleveland ? it was one of the last art moderne buildings to reside in the city – it is the home of the bond clothing company . and it was located on the northwest corner of east ninth and euclid avenue ( think national city tower today ) . the bond clothing company was started in the hickcox building on the same corner in the 1920′s . charles bond founded the firm and it quickly became the largest retail chain for men’s clothing in the united states and was well known for its two piece suit collection for men . anyway , the bond company decided to tear down the hickox building in 1946 and erected this beautiful monument soon thereafter .
in 1975 , the bond clothes company started liquidating its assets and selling its now - dwindling company to foreign investors . the outlet in times square dubbed the
cathedral of clothing
in its heyday closed in 1977 . by 1982 , the last remnants of bond clothes were sold . despite all this , what remained of the original bond clothes sign would stay prominent at this location well into the 1980s , during which time the old outlet building became a
bleecker street , as mr . sietsema wryly noted , became “the epicenter of the designer - store revolution , whereby many of the old , functioning stores , like bodegas , laundromats and video stores , were replaced by shops selling $ 400 t - shirts . ”

bond’s was a short - lived disco and rock venue that featured dancing and live acts , most famously the clash .
despite market conditions , key brands including bonds and workwear performed well , but were offset by declines in clothing new zealand and holeproof .
the sign on top of the bond store had been controlled by general outdoor advertising , but in 1948 the 38 - year - old mr . leigh got the concession and persuaded barney ruben , the head of bond , to erect the most astounding display ever .
in 1975 , the company was sold to foreign investors , then broken up and sold in smaller groups to management . many of the stores closed .

unfortunately these changes will necessitate 1850 jobs losses in australia over an 18 - month period including 1200 in clothing manufacturing , ' ' she said .
but , she added , she didn’t foresee the effects on bleecker street , where she used to scour the antiques stores for inspiration and household items like curtains .
over the 2010–2020 period , as clothing continues to be made in other countries and the demand for custom clothing keeps declining , occupations such as sewing machine operators , fabric and apparel patternmakers , textile and garment pressers , and textile knitting and weaving machine setters , operators , and tenders are all projected to decrease in employment .
by the late 1950s , bond began leasing the billboard space to other brands , like pepsi , which turned the two human statues into giant soda bottles .

as times square slid into decay ( above , in 1979 ) , part of the bond sign continued to live on—even after the store went out of business in 1977 .
today the site is the location of the restaurant bond 45 , which continues the neon sign tradition . ( second photo : wikipedia ; third photo : bow tie partners )
from 1990 to 2011 , within the wholesale trade industry , employment in industries such as jewelry and women ' s and children ' s clothing experienced little or no change . however , over that period , employment in the men ' s and boy ' s clothing industry decreased 17 . 5 percent—from 32 , 000 jobs in 1990 to 26 , 400 jobs in 2011 .
the pepsi sign , too , lasted just a few years , succeeded by others , like the camel sign of the 80 ' s with two illuminated cigarette packs at either end . now the old bond building is occupied by a mixed bag of stores and theaters , topped by floodlit billboards for jockey and liz claiborne that are big and bright , though hardly spectacular .
as a very young man , i worked at bond clothing in times square in 1973 in the office on the 2nd floor . besides paging sales people and doing some cashiering , i also did the daily sales and cash report and then accompanied the office manager , teddy , to the bank with our deposit . it was an amazing time im my life .
during this time , we take on a number of stores , some of which go on to become the brands you love to wear today ; including dickins & jones , rackhams & cavendish house .
some of the biggest neon signs - if not the biggest signs - to ever dominate new york city ' s times square were the signs advertising the bond clothing store . these massive signs were some of the most brilliant and colorful signs produced during the 20th century in new york city and they added a nice dash of animation to new york ' s nighttime skyline !
the old bond building is now owned by a company headed by charles b . moss jr . , successor to the b . s . moss theater chain founded by his grandfather .
the company says the new strategy will deliver $ 150 million a year in cost savings by full year 2011 after an overhaul of sourcing , including closing the majority of its australian clothing manufacturing operations .

an article last thursday about the retail blight of bleecker street misstated the location of arleen bowman’s clothing boutique . it was on bleecker between west 10th and charles street , not west 10th and perry street .
the new 50 - foot - high bond sign ran 200 feet from 44th to 45th street . two 50 - foot - tall figures , one male , one female , flanked a central 50 , 000 - gallon waterfall 27 feet high and 120 feet long . above everything rose a digital clock with the legend : ' ' every day 3 , 490 people buy at bond . ' '
but the textile , clothing and footwear union ' s michele o ' neil says the closures aren ' t justified . she has made an urgent call for high - level meetings in a bid to save jobs .
in october of 1954 , leigh proposed that bond allow other companies to make use of the sign . bond agreed and the sign was turned over to pepsi cola . he replaced the two human figures with pepsi cola bottles and the clock was transformed into a giant bottle cap with the pepsi logo on it . for most of the 1950s , this new sign would remain a landmark in times square .
the base on which the bond sign rested was an electric news zipper , perhaps five feet high , running along the entire facade , and the entire display had 23 , 250 bulbs . the combination of large flat sign , moving lights and messages , falling water and three - dimensional sculpture effects made the $ 350 , 000 bond sign perhaps the most ambitious sign in the city ' s history .
fans of old - school new york neon know the bond clothes billboard and sign , the enormous and spectacular signage that lit up broadway and 45th street in different forms from the 1940s to the 1980s .
the original marc jacobs store on bleecker that started the boom was next door with its windows blacked out . ms . reitman had an idea for that space and the other empty stores that dot bleecker street like missing teeth in a very expensive mouth .
customs furthermore provides for rebate stores . these stores may only store goods which have been entered under rebate of duty under the provisions of schedules no 3 , 4 and 6 and are regularly inspected by customs . the reason for such inspections is to monitor the use of the rebated goods that are imported subject to certain conditions , e . g . materials in rolls for the manufacture of infants’ garments . all or part of the duties is not payable provided the conditions of the rebate item are adhered to .

but , as mr . leigh told carl spielvogel , a new york times reporter , in 1953 , the value of even the most spectacular sign is in its novelty . and by that time the bond sign was five years old .
her neighbors included antiques stores like pierre deux , treasure & trifles and susan parrish ; a pet store called the bird jungle ; the biography bookshop ; and nusraty afghan imports , where an immigrant named abdul nusraty had been selling rugs , jewelry and antiquities since 1979 .
captured in countless photos ( at left , on new year’s eve 1950 ) , the sign that stood from the late 1940s to the mid - 1950s—with a clock in the o of the bond name—has become an emblem of times square’s postwar glory years .

but the bond sign survives in spots . much of the red - granite facade remains , and on the second floor on the 44th street side , old enameled signs fill window openings . just above the roundabout theater marquee , the shadowy trace of ' ' o n d ' ' is visible - - the anchor points for the clock face in the masonry are evident . above and to the right , a curious black rectangle is the last remnant of the bond zipper sign , most of its bulbs still in place .
if many of the high - end stores along bleecker didn’t prosper as businesses , “they succeeded in transforming the area into a luxury retail neighborhood that feeds on itself , ” said jeremiah moss , who has tracked the city’s ever - changing streetscape on his blog , jeremiah’s vanishing new york , since 2007 .
' ' this is devastating and distressing news for the workers concerned , ' ' mr rudd told parliament . ' ' this is bad news for the tcf sector , it is bad news for the economy , ' ' he said , referring to the textile , clothing and footwear industries .
in 1987 , after learning about a store for rent from the owner of a bleecker street nail salon , arleen bowman opened a women’s clothing boutique under her own name at 353 bleecker , between west 10th and charles streets . the space was around 300 square feet ; she paid $ 1 , 500 in monthly rent .
it was around this time that janet russo , a clothing designer , and her husband , bill jacklin , an artist , both longtime village residents , sold their townhouse on bank street to mr . duffy . she felt the village had changed , she said , “to the point where i wouldn’t want to live there . ”
see the highlights from # ra250bondst , where the fashion and the art world came together in celebration of the royal academy of art’s 250th year . from june 22nd , bond street’s world - leading fashion and fine jewellery brands collaborated with renowned artists to takeover the windows , exploring the theme of 250 years of art .
this sign was one of the most spectacular , if not the most spectacular sign to ever hang in times square , and at $ 350 , 000 , most likely the most expensive ! it advertised bond clothes from the time of its inception in 1948 until 1954 , when leigh had other plans in mind for it .
the nightclub lasted only a few years , and in 1940 bond clothes took over much of the space . the architect james p . whiskeman designed a new front with red - granite panels and glass block , but a 1940 ' s photograph shows the steel framework bare except for a relatively small billboard for schlitz beer .
however , pac brands said it will keep its non - clothing manufacturing facilities in australia open , including its bike helmet factory in victoria , its nsw and victoria carpet underlay factories , and a bed manufacturing plant in tasmania . most of its foam factories around the country will avoid shutdown , as will its uniforms factory in victoria , the company said .
at first the signs were just add - ons to existing buildings , but in 1936 the city bank farmers trust company built a two - story building with a sign that more than doubled the height of the structure . designed by acock & lloyd , the building was trim , moderne in style , with a theater , stores and a vast nightclub , the international casino .
ms . consolo , the real estate agent , noted the number of newish beauty boutiques on bleecker , including sisley and aesop , as well as long - term tenants like the perfumer bond no . 9 and the beauty brand fresh . the future of the street , she said , may be as “beauty and lipstick alley . ”
she was standing in front of atm anthony thomas melillo , a clothing boutique that opened in february to sell $ 115 “destroyed wash” t - shirts and other garments . the store had no customers , and the front door was open , allowing the air - conditioning to pump out into the street , something ms . reitman lectured the young sales associates about .
bleecker street , mr . moss said , is a prime example of high - rent blight , a symptom of late - stage gentrification . “these stores open as billboards for the brand , ” he said . “then they leave because the rents become untenable . landlords hold out . and you’re left with storefronts that will sit vacant for a year , two years , three years . ”
this small collection consists of one box containing four folders . the most significant historical information can be found in folder 1 , which contains newspaper articles about bond clothes . folder 2 contains copies of the company ' s newsletter . also included is a limited amount of correspondence regarding robert m . adler ' s research into the company ' s history .
to mark the 250th anniversary of the royal academy , the summer exhibition will spill out on to london’s bond street , with internationally renowned artist , rose wylie , ra commissioned to dress the street in bespoke flags . the artist has used details from her most recent body of work , lolita’s house continuing her fascination with the shifting nature of memory .
the next year mr . leigh proposed that bond rent its rooftop sign space to someone else , and in october 1954 the famous sign went dry and dark . he designed the successor sign , for pepsi - cola , which restarted the waterfall but replaced the two figures with equally large pepsi bottles , and the digital clock with a colossal bottle cap .
in the fast - paced new york retail scene , it can be hard to remain hot for long , given the speed of trends and how fast brands and styles fall out of favor , it ' s no surprise that the stores that carry all the gear the kids are lusting after keep changing . consistency is one thing , but when it comes to fashion , relevancy is the name of the game .
mayfair & st james’s throws open its doors for a free weekend of art & events to celebrate 250 years of creativity across a world - leading cultural district . over 40 of mayfair & st james’s galleries , auction and fashion houses will stage a rich array of exhibitions , tours , panel discussions and installations including a series of artist designed window displays across bond street .

a blog about some of the world ' s most interesting signs and billboards .
in 1981 . later on in the 1990s , this building would become the site of the roundabout theatre .
advertisers are the same as you and me - they just want to make money . as long as you do not lose sight of that fact , you can rent almost any billboard . but it ' s all about dollars and cents .
the tai fat pawn shop sign . if you live in or have ever visited hong kong , you may have caught an occasional glimpse of a store sign fea . . .
hokusai ' s print of the mitsui shop on suruga street in edo ( tokyo ) . ( visipix . com ) first off , i ' d like to wish each and every one . . .
the historic green dragon tavern . ( wikimedia commons ) for almost as long as the usa has been around , there has been one beverage ingrai . . .
the raohe st . night market in taipei . taiwan ' s night markets are places that bustle with activity at night . thousands of shoppers cr . . .
for some reason , this sign is buried in a back alley accessible off of main street .

big , exciting signs are articles of faith for the new times square , which now has a concorde , a steaming coffee cup and a huge coke bottle with a retractable straw .
in the 1880 ' s , broadway north of 42d street was an industrial area of blacksmiths and carriage factories . but just three decades later the migration of theaters and hotels had turned it in into the great white way . even city planners opposed to commercial signs found something fitting in the gaudy electric signs that turned night into day and attracted gawking tourists .
above this rose a huge electric sign with fish blowing bubbles that advertised wrigley ' s spearmint gum . the sign , the work of the designer and artist dorothy shepard , was built by general outdoor advertising . it looked skeletal by day , but spectacular at night - - the largest advertising yet erected in times square .
by this time mr . leigh , the sign impresario , had already made his mark in times square with a giant , steaming a . & p . coffee cup and camel ' s smoke rings . mr . leigh constantly strove to outdo himself and everybody else , and in 1944 he said he was hoping to turn the top of the empire state building into a bottle or cigar , for any company that could pay the tab .
at night , strands of electric lights seemed to clothe the chunky , modern classical figures , but by day they appeared nude .
mr . leigh says he had wanted to hire the sculptor paul manship , who had done the figure of prometheus in rockefeller center , to work out the figures , but mr . ruben wanted something less expensive .

as for mr . leigh , in the 70 ' s he developed a sideline of lighting buildings , and says he is now working on the illumination of donald j . trump ' s 40 wall street . he says that no one in recent years has asked him to do another sign spectacular , but that he has all the photographs , drawings and other records from one of this century ' s most unusual design careers .

many stories have been told about the majestic interior including an open terrace and illuminated mirrored columns that extended from the first floor up to the third floor . there was a large curved staircase that allowed patrons to casually walk through the department store and get a great feel about all four floors and the merchandise offered to patrons . i believe that walker & weeks was the architect of record .
the above photo offers a great view from east ninth looking west down euclid avenue towards public square . i love how this street used to look . unfortunately , the store was torn down in 1978 to make way for the national city tower . this is brilliant architecture . seems a shame to have lost this to a bland commercial tower .

for the city of cleveland , fascinated by the civic space , history ( cleveland & military ) , entrepreneurship , social media , food and travel . my first book on cleveland history will be published by history press ( www . historypress . net ) this fall .
attractive young women modeled clothes in the second story rounded window over the intersection of 9th and euclid during the lunch hour . i started working at that intersection in 1958 and enjoyed a few ‘longer than usual’ lunches to gawk at the models !
my mom worked here as a manager on the 2nd floor when i was a child . i remember coming downtown on the bus to visit her with my big sister to go with her to lunch at the forum cafeteria . you’re right about the interior–i remember the swoop of the wide staircase up to her small office–the wide stainless steel hand railing and what i would later come to know as art deco styling . very happy to see these pics . they bring back so many memories . i remember it being beautiful but so hard to describe to my wife and children .
oh wow , i remember going to the forum with my mom when i was a kid . she worked there in the 60s , and my sister and i thought it was the coolest place . i remember it had an automated system for moving trays .
the destruction of this beautiful piece of artwork to be replaced by an ugly giant eyesore best describes the stupidity of the major population of cleveland , absolutely disgusting , the city should be ashamed , but one has to look no further than the people who have been running this city for decades , complete imbeciles .
i vaguely remember coming here as a boy in the 1960’s ; probably for my dad to purchase a sunday suit . i think i may have purchased a suit while in high school at the great lakes mall store .
