From a late 1960s dress/coat set:
The Robert Leonard Company was a Massachusetts based company run by brothers Robert and Richard Baron. Started about 1950, the company specialized in
dresses, coats, and suits in a more conservative style. The company’s business quadrupled in the late 1960s when many women weren’t comfortable
wearing the new youthful mini skirted styles. Diana Adler was the designer in the late 1960s. The Robert Leonard line was carried by high end stores
such as Lord & Taylor and Bonwit Teller.

To add to the Hattie Carnegie labels:
From a black silk faille stole - C. 1950's - probably went with a matching cocktail dress.

While pulling stuff for the garage sale I came across these which are not in the resources.
Don't know if this should go under kasper or leslie fay.
Early 70's mohair skirt and vest
A 60's/70's Dalton sweater, not cashmere
I don't know if this is THE Macy's or not. 50's mohair sweater.

I couldn't find any Dent's labels in the resource so here's one from a pair of 1940s fake astrakhan gauntlets - they had the CC41 utility label
too:
Dent's is THE British glove company, in business since 1777 and still going strong today.

Some additional info about Suzy Perette. The company was started by Max Blauner who died in 1962. Sydney and Richard Blauner are also connected to
the company, but I'm not sure at this time whether they are Max's sons. The labels "Designed by Blauner" and "Jeunesse" were also owned by the
Blauner family. Evelyn Dawson was the designer for Suzy Perette and Designed by Blauner in the late 50s. Jeunesse was designed by George Halley.

Here is a McGregor, which I don't think we have, among the many McGregor labels. It's from a 60's men's casual jacket. Drizzler!

This is another Hudson Bay Label from the 30s. Thus particular one was only used for pastel blankets.

Label from early 1940s waitress uniform. This Bob Evans is not the same as the restaurant/sausage Bob Evans LOL
Info I found on the company:
Bob Evans The Aristocrat of Uniforms. The company, based in Baltimore, was in business from 1924 through the early 1960s. They produced uniform
dresses, aprons and caps for women. Their uniforms were marketed for use by nurses, doctors assistants, maids, waitresses and beauticians.
(my own words-feel free to borrow )

This is where I did a lot of shopping back in the day and this is the earliest label I've come across by them. I wrote a short bio below - info
courtesy of their website - feel free to add, delete, edit...
An early 70s women's shirt with a 20s print:
Le Château is a trendy Canadian ready-to-wear clothing manufacturer and retailer for men and women. It was founded by Herschel Segal in Montreal,
Québec in 1959 "as a promotional menswear store". The brand was then developed in 1961 and a line for women was added in 1962. In 1983 they went
public and became Le Château Inc..
They now have over 200 outlets across Canada as well as outlets in New York City and the Middle East.

Arthur Weiss label
Here we have four Arthur Weiss dresses along with labels for each and a bio. Thank you very much to everyone for your contributions - you know who
you are! 
Image 1: circa 1917. Magenta silk velvet dress by Arthur Weiss. Blouson top that wraps over with a huge bow over a separate black tulle skirt that
is on a slip top of its own. c/o Past Perfect Vintage
http://www.pastperfectvintage.com/
Image 2: 1920’s Drop-Waist Dress by Arthur Weiss c/o Dorothea’s Closet Vintage
http://www.dorotheasclosetvintage.com/
Image 3: Late 30’s/early 40’s black cocktail dress by Arthur Weiss. Luxe ribbed silk contrasted against a soft, brushed back silk crepe. Deco lines,
exaggerated peplum. Side metal zip. c/o Dorothea’s Closet Vintage
http://www.dorotheasclosetvintage.com/
Image 4: circa 1950. Black rayon crepe pencil skirt shirtwaist dress by Arthur Weiss. c/o Catwalk Creative Vintage
http://www.catwalkcreativevintage.co.uk
PLEASE NOTE: Images 3 and 4 show exactly the same label so dates will apply from the late 1930's and possibly until the company liquidated in
1955.
ARTHUR WEISS
Arthur Weiss was born in Hungary in 1875 to Simon and Rosa Weiss. Simon Weiss was a shirt manufacturer in New York in 1900 and Arthur was working for
him at this time as a shirt salesman. Records from the 1910 census show that Arthur Weiss continued to work as a salesman - his occupation was given
as "Commercial traveller - shirts", so he was possibly selling his father's shirts in the Midwest.
By the mid teens, Arthur was running his own business from headquarters in Chicago, IL. The first advertisements found are for Arthur Weiss & Co
dating from 1914, at which time the business address was 327 West Adams Street, Chicago, IL. Arthur Weiss' WWI draft registration confirms that he
owned his own business with his occupation noted as "Ladies Garment Manufacturer" at 317(?) West Adams Street, Chicago. It is also noted at this
time that Arthur had married Ethel. They had three sons, Sidney, Jerome and Robert.
Arthur continues after WWI as a dress maker in his own factory. Later advertisements note that Arthur Weiss & Co. was situated at 315-27 West Adams,
and one reference noted that they were in New York and Chicago, which is confirmed by the label seen here on the 1920s drop-waist dress (image 2).
By 1923, Arthur Weiss & Co. was noted as being the largest maker of dresses in the Middle West. They merged with G.M. Piermont & Co., another
prominent dress manufacturing concern. This merger was said to have made the "resultant firm the largest manufacturer of dresses in the United
States."
By 1930 Ethel was a living with her son-in-law and daughter, but Arthur is not with her. In December 1942, Arthur Weiss died of a heart attack at the
age of 68. The Arthur Weiss & Co. firm was liquidated in 1955.

Just realised there's a typing mistake on the Susan Small label I submitted a while back. It reads:
from a 1960s/late 1970s gown
Courtesy of cat123creative
It should read:
from a late 1960's/early 1970's hostess dress (or gown)
Thank you.
