{"product_id":"white-front-golf-towel","title":"White Front Golf Towel","description":"GhostCorp Apparel - resurrecting iconic corporate ghosts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFrom a single Los Angeles market in 1929, White Front grew into a regional chain with stores across California, Washington, and Oregon. Its changing mix of groceries, appliances, and department-store goods reflects the evolution of everyday shopping in the West. This golf towel pairs a useful course companion with a story that longtime customers and retail-history collectors can appreciate. It is a fitting choice for golfers who enjoy regional nostalgia, memories of familiar stores, and the history behind White Front’s rise and eventual closure.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhite Front began in 1929 as Harry Blackman’s small White Front Market on South Central Avenue in Florence, Los Angeles. Starting with groceries, the business added radios and household appliances, then opened a major-appliance shop after Blackman returned from military service following World War II. By 1954 it was known as White Front Stores, with a broader range of goods. A second store opened in Van Nuys in 1957. Interstate Department Stores acquired the two-store chain in April 1959 and financed rapid expansion across California. White Front later opened stores in Washington, beginning in Seattle in 1967, and in Portland, Oregon, in 1970. At its mid-1972 peak, the chain had 37 stores in three states. Interstate announced in December 1972 that 21 stores would close; the remaining discount stores and appliance centers closed after Interstate sought Chapter 11 reorganization in May 1974. Former locations passed to a range of retailers, including Valu-Mart\/Leslie’s, J.C. Penney’s The Treasury, Gold Circle, and Mervyn’s. Some independent pharmacies retained the White Front name, but were unrelated to the former chain.\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","brand":"Printify","offers":[{"title":"16'' × 24''","offer_id":54665717481756,"sku":"11967009940491495175","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0955\/2517\/5580\/files\/8395910134337916410_2048.jpg?v=1791308830","url":"https:\/\/ghostcorpapparel.com\/products\/white-front-golf-towel","provider":"Ghost Corp Apparel","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
