From Grandaughter Mari: "Tailor’s cutter and later foreman and ultimately patented the first seamless raincoat. He and his wife lived in Atlantic City for awhile and then moved to Florida after the crash of 1929. He started his life over and financed small home appliances to low income families who had difficulty getting small loans."
