{"product_id":"martins-ceramic-ornament","title":"Martin's Ceramic Ornament","description":"GhostCorp Apparel - resurrecting iconic corporate ghosts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMartin's grew from a Brooklyn coat and suit department into a regional chain whose story followed the changing patterns of New York shopping. Its Fulton Street home in the Offerman Building preceded suburban branches and mall locations, while family leadership continued for decades. This ceramic ornament offers a keepsake connection to a once-familiar retailer and the communities it served. It suits collectors of store history, former Martin's customers, and anyone preserving memories of Brooklyn's commercial past.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMartin's grew from a coat and suit department opened by Hyman Zeitz in an existing blouse shop at Fulton and Bridge streets in Brooklyn, with a history dating to at least 1903. Zeitz eventually bought the shop, and in 1924 the business moved next door into the seven-story Offerman Building. After his death in 1930, his son Fred J. Zeitz became president. Architect Morris Lapidus designed a modernized entrance completed in 1947. Beginning in the 1950s, Martin's expanded into suburban New York, opening in Garden City in 1952, Babylon in 1956 and Huntington in 1962. Hyman Zeitz's grandson  Levin became president in 1966; another grandson, Robert Rosenthal, took over in 1972. The chain opened at Smith Haven Mall in 1969 and at Riverside Square Mall in Hackensack, New Jersey, in 1977, reaching six stores. As profits declined, the family-held company was sold in October 1977 to Seedman Merchandising Group, which operated Times Square Stores. The Fulton Street store closed in 1979, and the remaining locations closed or changed names within a few years. The Offerman Building was designated a New York City Landmark in 2005.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"1\" style=\"padding: 10px;\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"1\" style=\"padding: 10px; font-size: 15px; font-weight: 500;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eHeart\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"1\" style=\"padding: 10px; font-size: 15px; font-weight: 500;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eRound\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"2\" style=\"word-break: break-word; border-top: 1px solid rgb(237, 237, 237); font-size: 15px; padding: 10px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(82, 82, 82);\"\u003eDiameter, in\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"2\" style=\"word-break: break-word; border-top: 1px solid rgb(237, 237, 237); font-size: 15px; padding: 10px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(82, 82, 82);\"\u003e3.21\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"2\" style=\"word-break: break-word; border-top: 1px solid rgb(237, 237, 237); font-size: 15px; padding: 10px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(82, 82, 82);\"\u003e2.80\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eProduct features\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- 100% white ceramic construction — strong and durable\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Double-sided print with matte finish option\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Golden hanging string included\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- UV-decorated for lasting color\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Available in white or gold gift packaging (single ornament per pack)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCare instructions\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Use a microfiber cloth to gently remove any dust or dirt build-up.
