Rube played an important role in the growth of California's textile industry.

Soon, Hoffman Fabrics abounded with their original designs of surfing scenes, beach life, and underwater settings.
Today, three generations of Hoffman’s are actively involved in the day-to-day operations of the company. More than eighty employees are involved with filling orders and shipping fabric to retail fabric stores, craft shops, quilt stores, apparel makers, wholesale distributors, and manufacturers throughout the world.
