Miss Gainor's explanation of her success
is double one: First, when she was buyer

Florence Gainor began as fourteen-year-
old errand girl -. became an assistant
buyer -. then went as buyer to Saks Fifth
Avenue :. began designing what she want
ed when she could not find it on the market
-. finally said to herself:
I've had the top job in the kind of work
I'm doing now. There's nothing bigger can
get. Why not try for MYSELF" Today she
is one of the very few designers to operate
her own manufacturing plant, complete with
storeroom, cutting room, staff of 80,
mostly women, and big payroll to meet
every week.
MEN WORE THEM: Designs for shirts
come from many sources. A very popular
Gainor design came from the days of Jeffer-
son and Adams when men wore linen shirts
with lace ruffies at the wrist. Another was
borrowed from Rembrandt self-portrait.
Black -and-white and blue-and- white
checked gingham shirts were suggested by
illustrations in old fairy-taIe books; while
the ties on little Dutch girls cap were
translated into small standing collar.
