I was parked in front of the A&J Rubel, Co., a department store where my mother worked as cashier.? Uncle Abe had passed on, but Jake ran the store in the old way, with tight control of the money.? They used trolley baskets from various parts of the store to a raised platform along one wall, where my mother handled the money and wrapped the packages, which then were sent back down to the point of sale. In the late 1930s, Jake, who never married, managed to get his brother, along with his family, from Germany to the U.S.? His brother's son, Werner, was about my age and we became friends. After a tour in the army, Werner used the GI Bill to get an Engineering degree and ended up working with the enclave of German engineers in Huntsville, Alabama.? He died a few years ago.
