Ess Bee Dress Company was a Great Depression era business which was incorporated in December 1931. The firm's corporate headquarters was located at 26 Court Street in Brooklyn, New York. The amount of the organization's initial capital was $1,000.
A dress concern with a similar name, the Ell-Bee-Ess Dress Company, operated in the 1930s in New York City. Ell Bee Ess rented space at 550 Seventh Avenue (Manhattan), in July 1933. This business, which might have been associated with the Ess Bee Dress Company, leased office space in a 24-story structure at 39th Street (Manhattan), built by Louis Adler around 1931. In a period of ten days, ending on July 1, 1933, 50,000 square feet (4,600 m2) of showroom and light manufacturing space was rented at 550 Seventh Avenue. Adler also owned a 30-story bank and garment building on the opposite corner. It was known as 530 Seventh Avenue. The 24-story structure was occupied exclusively by high-class dressmakers.
