From Richard Kroll:
I have been looking for information about Grandpa Abe’s business. I think it was called Dottie Fabrics after our mother.
Here are my memories of it from when Martin and I used to play there.
Dottie Fabrics produced hair nets, when I was a child. My middle brother, Martin, and I used to play there, when our family visited my mother’s parents in New Jersey. I remember a huge concrete slab with wrought iron looms bolted to the floor and a small office at the far end. The noise was cacophonous and exciting. The yarn came on conical cardboard spools with brightly colored enameled tips. Martin and I used to take the discarded spools and stack them into play towers.
