The company grew from Hyman Zeitz's coat and suit department in a Fulton and Bridge streets blouse shop, with business roots dating to at least 1903. Its move into the Offerman Building in 1924 marked a new chapter, followed by suburban stores in Garden City, Babylon and Huntington. Martin's ultimately reached six locations as shopping shifted toward malls. This desk accessory offers collectors a daily reminder of a family retailer's changing place in New York commerce.\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=\"font-weight: 500; font-size: 15px; padding: 10px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e9\" × 8\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"2\" style=\"padding: 10px; font-size: 15px; border-top: 1px solid rgb(237, 237, 237); word-break: break-word;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(82, 82, 82);\"\u003eWidth, in\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"2\" style=\"padding: 10px; font-size: 15px; border-top: 1px solid rgb(237, 237, 237); word-break: break-word;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(82, 82, 82);\"\u003e9.00\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"3\" style=\"padding: 10px; font-size: 15px; border-top: 1px solid rgb(237, 237, 237); word-break: break-word;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(82, 82, 82);\"\u003eHeight, in\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"3\" style=\"padding: 10px; font-size: 15px; border-top: 1px solid rgb(237, 237, 237); word-break: break-word;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(82, 82, 82);\"\u003e8.00\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"4\" style=\"padding: 10px; font-size: 15px; border-top: 1px solid rgb(237, 237, 237); word-break: break-word;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(82, 82, 82);\"\u003eDepth, in\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"4\" style=\"padding: 10px; font-size: 15px; border-top: 1px solid rgb(237, 237, 237); word-break: break-word;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(82, 82, 82);\"\u003e0.06\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- Smooth, low-friction surface for effortless mouse movement\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Full-front color print with bright, accurate reproduction\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Ultra-thin 1\/16\" (1.58 mm) high-density foam core\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Non-slip rubber base that grips the desk\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Rectangular shape with one-sided print\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCare instructions\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Use warm water and dish soap to clean spots off your pad.
