Sir Montague Maurice Burton, born as Moishe David Osinsky in Kurkliai, Russian Empire (now Lithuania) on August 15, 1885, passed away on September 21, 1952. He founded Burton Menswear, one of the largest clothing retail chains in the UK. In 1900, his family emigrated to the UK, although some sources claim he moved alone due to anti-Semitic pogroms and persecutions in his homeland. By 1901, he was living in Cheetham Hill, Manchester. Starting as a delivery boy, he became a outfitter in Chesterfield in 1903, selling ready-made suits purchased from a wholesaler. After marrying Sophie Marks in 1909, the company name changed from M. Burton to Burton & Burton. Following the birth of twins in 1917, he adopted the name Montague Maurice Burton. By 1913, he had five tailoring shops for men's clothing, with headquarters in Sheffield and production in Leeds. By 1929, when the company went public, he had around 400 shops, factories, and plants. During World War II, his enterprise produced a quarter of British military uniforms and a third of clothing for demobilized soldiers.
