Neptune Uniforms & Equipment

Neptune Home Furnishings began in 1959 with a succession of moves finding a small store front in Haverhill. Neptune settled at 360 Washington Street and became a corporation in 1963. Adding furniture and larger appliances to his extensive clothing inventory the business was a small department store. As the business grew in size he added employees. The addition of a bookkeeper and several "collecto

rs", including him, suddenly there became a payroll he had to consider every week. Deliveries and orders were taken at any given time. Neptune was regarded as "The Store at Your Door." In the early seventies Myron started to dabble in uniforms by request from customers. Some requests were from city workers in need of work apparel and then by the local police department. This started a trend that brought Neptune Home Furnishings into the world of city and state bidding. Neptune now had a uniform department. Myron gave up his route to cater to his new customer base. A decision was made to let go of the civilian portion of the business. Myron continued to expand his uniform business. In the eighties he would get into his station wagon loaded with special chosen goods every Sunday morning at 4:00 AM and set up "shop" in Boston Police Department areas, A, D and B2. The latter he dubbed his "headquarters." Unloading, setting up his display and reloading for each stop. He would not return home until 8:00PM. Rarely missing a Sunday he did this for thirteen years. It was during this time he was given the name "Super Jew". The friends he gained back then are still friends of today and his nickname has stuck through the decades as well. He had a warehouse built to carry the inventory needed and to house offices and sewing rooms for customization. This became a business that brought product sales, personal service and a little piece of manufacturing in the form of customizing each uniform. Neptune Home Furnishings became Neptune Police Supply; it is now named Neptune Uniforms and Equipment Inc.
