Highrise Tower Posted October 9, 2022 Share Posted October 9, 2022 I was looking at The Thresher newspaper dated April 13, 1923 and noticed a business listing for Leopold & Price Clothing Store. This must be Leopold Meyer's retail business? https://www.tshaonline.org/handbook/entries/meyer-leopold-leopold Leopold Meyer, retail merchant and medical fund-raiser, was born in Galveston on June 21, 1892, the sixth of nine children of Achille and Malline (Kahn) Meyer. He received his B.A. degree from Tulane University in 1912 and returned to Galveston, where he followed his brothers into the retail business. He worked for F. S. Levy and Company in Houston until 1918, when he joined Foley Brothers Dry Goods Company; there he quickly worked his way up to executive vice president and credit manager. In 1946 he and his brothers opened a retail operation known as Meyer Brothers, Incorporated, which grew to ten stores by 1957. Leopold served as chairman of the board until he and his brothers sold the business to a national chain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
