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. Philanthropic Activities. If.
