The company name was changed to J.A. Dubow Mfg. The sporting goods division produced quality baseball gloves in the 1920s that drew the endorsements of baseball stars from that era, that included Kiki Cuyler, Johnny Mostil and a Guy Bush glove that featured a sliding strap connecting three fingers. Dubow also manufactured gloves under the Marathon brand sold in Montgomery Wards mail order catalogs. Dubow stopped making gloves by 1960.
