Perhaps you have wondered, as you walked down Wood Street, what “Fint-x” was, whose prominent sign mostly reappeared a few years ago after having been covered for a long while.

Fintex was a men’s clothing shop founded by Morry Goldman, noted Pittsburgh haberdasher. In its heyday, Fintex had multiple locations and advertised high style at low prices.

In the 1950s, Fintex expanded into the suburbs: here we see the announcement of a new store at the Great Southern shopping center in Bridgeville.

Morry Goldman was the sponsor of a pro basketball team called the Pittsburgh Morrys, and a glance at their Wikipedia article will take you back to a lost age of small-time professional sports of which most modern sports fans have no notion.
