The chain grew from a clothing business founded by the Kogan brothers in Caguas and reached towns and cities across the island. Its Santurce department store became known for air-conditioned shopping and customer self-selection, ideas that influenced other merchants. This design remembers a local institution whose changing locations and corporate chapters reflect the evolution of shopping in Puerto Rico.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNew York Department Stores grew from a ladies’ clothing business started by Salomón and Roberto Kogan in Caguas, Puerto Rico. Salomón arrived from New York City in 1931, and the brothers expanded to Guayama, Ponce, and Yauco. In 1936 they opened Broadway Department Stores and Manhattan Department Stores in San Juan. A larger, air-conditioned store at Santurce opened on May 7, 1941; it introduced customer self-selection and shorter working hours that other merchants adopted. In 1942, after Kleins’ owners left Puerto Rico, the Kogans acquired its premises and consolidated their three San Juan stores under the New York Department Stores name. A store designed by Henry Klumb opened at Santurce’s stop 17 on April 1, 1947. The chain later expanded to Bayamón, Guaynabo, Mayagüez, and other Puerto Rican communities. In 1988, its shares transferred to NYTSA Acquisition alongside Seedman’s and Santurce Realty. In 1994, Marshalls agreed to acquire most of the chain’s stores, with many slated for conversion or closure. By 1995, investor Investcorp had abandoned hopes of recovery and returned its original investment to clients.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eLight, quick-drying, and built to travel with you on the course. This compact golf towel slips onto your bag with a solid gold grommet and ring, so it’s always within reach between swings. The dense microfiber weave soaks up moisture and cleans clubfaces without scratching. Its subtle printed logo sits low on the cloth for an understated look that won’t distract from your setup. Carry it clipped to your bag, loop it on your cart, or toss it in your travel kit—this towel is quietly reliable when the round gets long or the weather changes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eProduct features\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Microfiber blend (80% polyester, 20% polyamide) for strength and durability\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Highly absorbent weave that dries quickly\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Compact one-size design: 16\" × 24\" (40.64cm × 60.96cm)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Gold grommet with ring for easy attachment to golf bags or clips\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Single-side print with a low-profile logo placement\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCare instructions\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Machine wash separately: cold (max 30C or 90F), gentle cycle\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\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);\"\u003e16'' × 24''\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);\"\u003eWidth, 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);\"\u003e16.00\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"3\" 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);\"\u003eLength, in\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"3\" 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);\"\u003e24.00\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEU representative\u003c\/strong\u003e: HONSON VENTURES LIMITED, gpsr@honsonventures.com, 3, Gnaftis House flat 102, Limassol, Mesa Geitonia, 4003, CY\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct information\u003c\/strong\u003e: Generic brand, two year warranty in the EU and Northern Ireland\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCare instructions\u003c\/strong\u003e: Machine wash separately: cold (max 30C or 90F), gentle cycle\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Printify","offers":[{"title":"16'' × 24''","offer_id":54773376287004,"sku":"67632385764817337833","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0955\/2517\/5580\/files\/16110842252340658103_2048.jpg?v=1793016024","url":"https:\/\/ghostcorpapparel.com\/products\/new-york-department-stores-golf-towel","provider":"Ghost Corp Apparel","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
