My grandfather, Morris “Murray” Morenstein, was the last surviving principal founding member (5 original members) of Burmel Handkerchief Inc. during the earlier part of the mid-20th century. My grandmother was an early designer of the handkerchiefs and later, scarves when the company expanded as a result of the invention of tissues. The company was located at 385 Fifth Ave., New York, NY, until around 1980 or 1981. Vogue magazine presented their hankerchiefs in their ”Handkerchief of the Month” section.
