Good Lad Co company history timeline

1834

Graham Goodlad considers the background to the reform of the Poor Law in 1834 and its impact on society.

1939

After earning a teaching certificate in 1939, Goodlad began teaching in a one-room rural school and eventually held posts at several other schools in Canada.

1945

Founded in Philadelphia in 1945 by Morris Sheintoch, Good Lad quickly became a well-recognized brand of boy’s dress clothing.

1976

In 1976, a friend in the clothing business tipped Mow off that Asian clothing manufacturers and United States retailers were always in need of importers who could handle the transactions from both ends.

1981

In early 1981, Mow's partner called it quits.

In 1981, Mow changed Buckaroo's name to Bugle Boy Industries and asked Nesi to act as the company's president.

1987

These measures helped Bugle Boy's annual sales in 1987 increase to almost $190 million.

1988

Also in 1988, Bugle Boy expanded its offerings to include a division of clothing for young women. It was not until 1988, however, that Bugle Boy introduced what would come to be one of its most well-known and popular items.

1990

The company seemed to possess unlimited potential for growth, and in 1990 it posted record sales of more than $500 million.

1991

In 1991, the company provided Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) service to its retail clients, and the following year it made its Stock Replenishment Program (SRP) available as well.
