Along with the silk industry, Allentown had a number of sewing factories that made clothing. Products made were mostly undergarments, petticoats, waists, hosiery, blouses, dresses, overalls, aprons, shirts, various men's trousers. These factories operated well into the 1960s and 1970s making clothing for national retailers and local stores. This is a photo of an unidentified factory in Allentown about 1910. Along with the manufacturing factories, numerous factory stores were in the city that sold seconds and overruns at discounted prices.
