Max's Story
In Early 1921, Max, a fourteen year old boy from Russia stepped off a boat and on to Ellis Island. He was the youngest of six sons, and his parents brought them to America because they wanted a better life for their family.
Max arrived with many hopes and dreams. He was told that the United States was a land of opportunity that offered everyone the chance to pursue and reach their goals. He was told that hard work and determination would be rewarded and that freedom was a guaranteed right for everyone.
At first, he tried a career in boxing, and although he possessed a powerful left hand, he realized that his real talents did not include pugilism.
Max was a master at relating to people and he soon found himself immersed in a career in sales. His success as a salesman during the Great Depression enabled him to help support his parents, his brothers and their families.
Shortly before World War II, he opened his first dress manufacturing company and was able to provide employment for hundreds of families over the years.
