Reliance Manufacturing Company is the manufacture
of well known "BIGYANK Shirt"
They established circa late 19 century, CHICAGO
ILLINOIS.
"BIGYANK" was patented in 1919.
They made not only shirts but also pants, pajamas,
blouses, clothing for kids and so on.
They advertised on Life magazines.
Life magazine was very popular, so I think Reliance
Mfg was remarkable clothing manufacture at that time.
In WW2, they made parachutes and many other garments
for soldiers.
