Story

In the late 1950s, the Asmar clothing factory was moved from 74 Hardgrave Road to 26 Drake Street West End, previously the Kodak factory. After Michel Asmar died in October 1953, his children continued the business. This extremely successful business, begun by Michel Asmar as a newly arrived immigrant in 1925, operated until the early 1980s.
