Keep the Anderson–Little story close during a casual get-together with this can cooler. The company’s roots near Boston and its move to Fall River place it within New England’s apparel and textile history. Its factory showrooms offered a distinctive way to connect shoppers with clothing production, while later acquisitions and a web-only revival tell a compact story of change in American retail. This piece is a fun choice for brand-history collectors, former customers, and anyone who enjoys remembering regional clothing names.
Anderson–Little was an American clothing maker and retailer, especially known for men’s suits. Founded in the Boston area in 1918 or during the 1920s by Morris B. Anderson and Albert Little, the company moved to Fall River, Massachusetts, in the 1930s, when the city was a textile-manufacturing center. It opened a Fall River store in 1936 and, after World War II, developed factory showrooms that brought customers directly to its manufacturing operation. Its long-running slogan, “The Best Factory Makes the Best Clothing,” reflected that approach. In 1956, its Fall River factory made 3,000 garments a week and employed more than 1,000 people. The business had 40 stores when Richman Brothers acquired it in 1966; Woolworth acquired Richman Brothers, including Anderson–Little, in 1969. In 1981, Anderson–Little introduced the Strathmore, Shefford, and Southport labels and added women’s business attire. Woolworth closed most stores in 1992, then sold the remaining business to Cliftex Manufacturing. Cliftex closed the final stores in 1998. Morris Anderson’s great-grandson Stuart and his son Scott reclaimed the brand in 2008 and launched a Miami-based, web-only clothing company. Stuart retired in 2014, leaving Scott to lead the revived business.
