The city of Detroit ha, stoic's:it a
very severe loss in the untimely death
of Mr. Oscar Rosenberger who died
, at Mt. Sinai Hospital in New York
City on Sunday, July 14th, hi Isis 45th
year.
NI r. Rosenberger had endeared him-
self to thousands of people in the city
of Detroit not only through his bril-
liant career as a business man and
manufacturer, but also through his
philanthropic and social activities in
this city. He came here twenty-six
years ago without any physical cap-
ital, but with what counts for more,
absolute integrity, indefatigable in-
dustry and wonderful ability. At that
time industrial Detroit was still in its
infancy. ‘Vitli no capital whatever
he opVited up a small cigar factory
with only a few benches. He acted
as manufacturer, salesman, bookkeep-
er, shipping clerk and in every other
capacity and soon saw a small busi-
ness begin to grow. His business
kept pace with the growth of the city
and was one of the factors in the mak-
ing of greater Detroit. lip to a short
time:prior to his death, he was the
president of the San Telmo Cigar
Manufacturing Company, as well as
its largest stockholder. It had three
large, factories in the city of Detroit,
and also four more in the east and
one in Ohio. It manufactured one
million two hundred thousand cigars
a week.
