Show OHI Ralph Tannebuarn 1-24-83 s2: 21 RT First of all, there wre many many of these little fe llows, p a rticul a rly these Jewish men who carne from the country , the Old Country , with very very little. They had been schneiders, in fue old country, tailors. They had a little knowledge and they were hard workers. They would open a little ®le in the wall as a tailor shop. Whereyou could take a pair of pants that you bought here or maybe you lost weight andyou wanted your pants altered, whatever. In many many cases, these men were not content to stay altering someone else's pants. So they went out and they bought a few suits. Some cases, maybe they bought them on consign-rnent. L Consignment? RT this is where you go to someone - maybe it's another store. Andyou say, I would like to-- men you know, a friend --I'd like to put in a few suits. Have you got anytyhing? I could let you have twelve suits. We'll settle up every month. On those suits you sold. And if you hadn't sold them~ the end of six mnths, you bring them back. OK? So some of these little fellows started that way. And in some cases, grew! L Who grew from that? RT Ah.Well, there was a man by the name of Mednick. There were two brothers. Two Mednick brothers. Both 0f whom were tailors at different shops. Both on Second South. One between State and Main, this was HarryMednick. And theother between Main and West Temple by the name of G~dalia Mednick. L That's a name I haven't heard in a long time. |
