| | Photograph Collection | Requires cookie* | | 1 | Title: | Judah Rubinstein Photographs
| | | | Creator: | Rubinstein, Judah | | | | Dates: | 1839-2002 | | | | Abstract: | Judah Rubinstein was an archivist, historian, author and research associate for the Jewish Community Federation of Cleveland, and a well-known authority on Cleveland Jewish history. He helped to establish the Cleveland Jewish Archives at the Western Reserve Historical Society in 1976. He provided research for a number of books on Cleveland Jewish history and co-authored the book "Merging traditions: Jewish life in Cleveland." The collection consists of 4000 black and white images presented as prints, slides, contact sheets, and negatives, all relating to Cleveland, Ohio, Jewish history. Of note are businesses, public and religious schools, synagogues, theaters, and communal activities in the 19th and first half of the 20th century, particularly in the Woodland, Glenville, and Kinsman neighborhoods. Images of Jewish holiday and life cycle celebrations are also found here. Also of note are portraits of prominent individuals and families, including Moses Alsbacher, Alfred A. Benesch, Aaron and Moses Halle, Maurice Maschke, David N. Myers, Samuel Rocker, Dr. Marcus Rosenwasser, Sigmund Schlesinger, Rose Pastor Stokes, Simson Thorman, Leo Weidenthal, Leon Wiesenthal, and Martha Wolfenstein. Rabbis and cantors represented in this collection include Gustavos Cohen, Jacob Frommer, Benjamin Gittelsohn, Samuel Goldman, Isadore Kalisch, Arthur J. Lelyveld, David Leby, Abba Hillel Silver, Daniel Jeremy Silver, and Samuel Wohl. While some of the photographs here can also be found in PG. 186, Jewish Heritage Exhibit photographs, and in "Merging traditions : Jewish life in Cleveland" (1978 ed.), the contact sheets and negatives contain many images that are new. | | | | Call #: | PG 528 | | | | Extent: | 3.01 linear feet (3 containers and 1 oversize folder) | | | | Subjects: | Rubinstein, Judah -- Photograph collection. | Jews -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Photographs. | Jews -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Societies, etc. -- Photographs. | Jews -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Biography -- Photographs. | Jews -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- History -- Photographs. | Jews -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Social life and customs -- Photographs. | Jews -- United States -- Photographs. | Rabbis -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Photographs. | Cantors (Judaism) -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Photographs. | Jewish businesspeople -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Photographs. | Jewish women -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Photographs. | Jewish families -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Photographs. | Jewish day schools -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Photographs. | Jewish religious schools -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Photographs. | Jewish athletes -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Photographs. | Jewish neighborhoods -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Photographs. | Jewish theater -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Photographs. | Portraits, Jewish -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Schools -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Photographs. | Synagogues -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Photographs. | Judaism -- Customs and practices -- Photographs. | Cleveland (Ohio) -- History -- Photographs. | Cleveland (Ohio) -- Biography -- Photographs. | Cleveland (Ohio) -- Photographs. | Cleveland (Ohio) -- Social life and customs -- Photographs. | Woodland (Cleveland, Ohio) -- Photographs. | Glenville (Cleveland, Ohio) -- Photographs. | Kinsman (Cleveland, Ohio) -- Photographs.

| Photograph Collection | Requires cookie* | | 2 | Title: | Richman Brothers Company Photographs
| | | | Creator: | Richman Brothers Company | | | | Dates: | 1924-1992 | | | | Abstract: | The Richman Brothers Company began in Cleveland, Ohio, when Henry Richman, a Jewish immigrant from Bavaria, and his partner, Joseph Lehman, moved their men's clothing manufacturing business, the Lehman-Richman Company, from Portsmouth, Ohio, to Cleveland in 1879. Following the depression of 1893, Lehman retired, and in 1904, Henry Richman turned over the business to his sons; Nathan, Charles, and Henry, Jr., and the business became the Richman Brothers Company. The first retail store was established in Cincinnati in 1906, followed a year later by stores in Cleveland and Louisville, Kentucky. Moving away from reliance on outside piecework, the Cleveland plant at 1600 E. 55 St. was built in 1916. The company incorporated in 1919. Throughout the 1920s-1930s, Richman Brothers continued to open new retail stores. After the deaths of the three Richman Brothers, the company was headed by Frank C. Lewman, and later by George H. Richman, until 1970, when Donald J. Gerstenberger became president and CEO. Expansion continued throughout the 1940s-1950s, despite problems with the Amalgamated Clothing Workers of America which attempted to unionize Richman Brothers. It remained a non-union shop throughout its existence. In 1969, Richman Brothers became a subsidiary of F.W. Woolworth Company. In 1986, corporate headquarters was moved to Massachusetts, and in 1990, its Cleveland manufacturing plant was closed. By December 1992, Richman Brothers Company had been completely liquidated. The collection consists of individual and group portraits of executives and employees, interior and exterior views of Richman Brothers Company factories and stores, and posed and candid shots of company functions. | | | | Call #: | PG 466 | | | | Extent: | 1.01 linear feet (1 container and 1 oversize folder) | | | | Subjects: | Richman family -- Photograph collections. | Richman Brothers Company -- Photograph collections. | Jews -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Photographs. | Jewish businesspeople -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Photographs. | Clothing trade -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Photographs. | Clothing factories -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Photographs. | Clothing workers -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Photographs. | Men's clothing industry -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Photographs.

| Photograph Collection | Requires cookie* | | 3 | Title: | David N. Myers Photographs
| | | | Creator: | Myers, David N. | | | | Dates: | 1900-1995 | | | | Abstract: | David N. Myers was born in Cleveland, Ohio, in 1900. He worked his way through high school and earned an accounting degree from Dyke College, a local business college, in 1922. He accepted a position in accounting with the Francis Byerlyte Corporation, and subsequently became president and owner of the company, later known as Consolidated Coatings Corporation. He married Inez Pink in 1929, and the couple raised two sons. Myers' primary philanthropic interest was aging and the elderly. He was instrumental in facilitating the move of the Jewish Orthodox Home for the Aged from the Glenville neighborhood to Beachwood, Ohio. He also assisted in the construction of R.H. Myers Apartments, an independent living facility for the elderly. He served as the President of the Jewish Community Federation of Cleveland from 1964 to 1969 and, along with his wife, established the David and Inez Myers Foundation. In 1995, Dyke college was renamed David N. Myers College in recognition of Myers' contributions to the school. The collection consists of approximately 550 black and white photographs and 380 color photographs depicting Cleveland, Ohio philanthropy, business, and Jewish family life. | | | | Call #: | PG 547 | | | | Extent: | 1.01 linear feet (1 container and 1 oversize folder) | | | | Subjects: | Myers, David N., 1900-1999 -- Photographic collections. | Myers family. -- Photographs. | Jewish Community Federation (Cleveland, Ohio) -- Photographs. | Jewish Orthodox Home for Aged (Cleveland, Ohio) -- Photographs. | Jews -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Photographs. | Jewish businesspeople -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Photographs. | Philanthropists -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Photographs. | Charities -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Photographs.
