Ruth and Bernard Alter, with their three children moved to San Jose from Chicago in 1957.
San Jose only had a population of around 50,000 and the Santa Clara County was still primarily orchards.
The 1960's were a time of great growth and The Yardstick was started as a fabric store for all the home sewers.
