	The H. B. Glover Company, one of the first manufacturers of men's wear west of Chicago, was also one of the oldest companies of its type in the nation. The company began large-scale manufacturing of clothing in 1876. The company pioneered adjustable pajamas, sweat-proof pockets, and a "pocketeer" in overalls to provide many pockets for holding tools. The company had the first full color double spread advertisement of any product in a nationally known magazine in the December 3, 1927, issue of the '''Saturday Evening Post'''. The company was also one of the first clothing manufacturers to locate in the Midwest rather than one of the coasts. (3)		The H. B.
