Product Details & Size Guide
GhostCorp Apparel - resurrecting iconic corporate ghosts.
Keep the Anderson–Little story close with this double-sided keychain charm, inspired by a clothing name shaped by family enterprise and changing times. The business grew from Boston-area beginnings into a Fall River operation with factory showrooms, then passed through major corporate acquisitions before its final stores closed in 1998. Descendants reclaimed the brand in 2008 and brought it online. This small keepsake suits collectors drawn to the history of regional apparel and direct-to-customer retail.
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.
