horse, any kind of a horse," he told
his friends. It became an obsession
with Meyer, who dreamed of the
day when he would possess one.
Plodding along, be reflected on
his wares and the profits they con-
tained. This little can of stove pol-
ish, for instance. lie made a few
pennies out of that can, and the
manufacturer made thousands of
dollars. He fingered the black pasty
stuff. That German chemist in
Bethlehem would know what it was
made of. Why not drop In and see
him next time he was up there?
Meyer had thrown his knapsack
in a corner of the chemist's shop.
He produced the can of polish. The
chemist smiled. Time was hanging
heavy on a dull morning. Certainly
he'd run it through a few tests for
this good-looking lad, who certainly
was no ordinary peddler.
That Friday Meyer returned ex-
uberant to break the good news to
his father. Here—he waved a sheet
of paper—is the magic formula
that may buy me a horse. No more
packs. Already he felt it an exer-
tion to stand straight. His back
was bending prematurely into the
age-long curve, the Christian curse
upon his race. But he smiled tri-
umphantly as he remembered the
meaning of his first name: The En-
lightened.
After the evening meal Father
Simon and Meyer huddled in a cor-
ner debating the most serious prob-
lem since they had decided to quit
Swiss soil. A few hundred dollars
had been accumulated. Should it
be ventured on stocking supplies
for this business? Point by point,
his brown eyes flashing with eager-
ness, Meyer countered his father's
objections and won him over to the
new endeavor.

six peddling in the streets of Phila-
delphia and his son conducting for-
ays into the outlying country, those
bright pictures that Meyer and
Barbara had painted In words and
in unspoken hopes seemed badly
blurred.
Not that Barbara cared too
much about it. She sang as she
bustled about the house which
bounded her world. She was sorry
that Meyer must work so hard, but
the Good Lord and Meyer would
take care of that some day. Every
Saturday they went to the little
synagogue in an old church on New
Market Street, and there she
prayed for his success. Later In
the day they would walk along
Front Street on the Delaware,
watching the animated water traf-
fic, or stroll down busy Market
Street. Sometimes they would go
to a quiet square and settle down
to serious business. Meyer would
pull out his little English-German
word book and Barbara would cate-
chize him, superior in her knowl-
edge only because she held the key
in her hands.
While she listened, patiently if
not too attentively, Meyer described
the life he saw in the back country.
The poverty that surrounded him
he brushed aside. What mattered
was that plenty of people were
well-to-do, had comfortable houses,
lived in security. Some were even
wealthy. Occasionally he dropped
his burden to pass the time of day
with little Jewish merchants in
these back-country towns. Yes, they
too had carried the pack in their
time, but it was not hard in this
country to prosper. Indeed, right

In this age of good roads and

Meyer Guggenheim understood it is
a lost way of life. But the general
store of the 1850's in eastern Penn-
sylvania stocked only the funda-
mental staples—flour, sugar, dried
beans and peas, a few bolts of cloth,
thread, the simpler kitchen uten-
sils. As often as not the housewife
was told, "Sorry, but we're out of
that," or "We don't carry that."
It was before the day of rural free
delivery and thousand-page farm
catalogues.
From his pack, Meyer filled the
gaps. In its mysterious depths were
shoe strings, scraps of lace, stove
and furniture polish, ribbon, amaz-
ing new safety pins, odds and ends
of spices, packages of needles. If

of their artistic strain of blood:
Harry, who as a youngster had
been winning innumerable pri-
zes for portraits of prominent
people was gradually paving the
way for the success and note
which was later to be his;
Philip, the younger son, was
studying to become a decorator;
Lillian and Sophia turned to
writing dramatic sketches, stag-
ing and performing them;
Ethel, too, was gaining recogni-
tion as a singer on the stage
and air. But Esther Moskovitz,
as she sat slowly rocking after
a hard day's work—the news-
paper, in which she zealously
followed Zionist news, fallen to
her lap—she fell to reminis-
cing: of her grandfathers, both
revered and beloved rabbis, of
her cousin, Boris Borislovsky,
the chief artist to the Czar, and
another, Ephraim Rashkow,
violinist, and a physician of re-
pute, who for escape from the
world of science loses himself
in the realm of the brush and
easel . . . And slowly he eyes
would rove from one to another
of her son's paintings on the
wall . . . and she would re-
member how as a girl she too
had once dreamed . . .

Now, with the children well
grown up, and free time a bit
more plentiful, she set herself
to the task. At first, during
those precious leisure moments
at the end of the day she would
spend long hours moulding little
clay figures; small models, larg-
er ones . . . And they were
beginning to take form, to de-
scribe action, to express
rhythm .. .
Critics whom her son brought
to see her work encouraged
her. Thus, her boundless talent
found its natural outlet, though
she had never studied art.
Her most beloved piece is the
bas relief plaque of her mother,
showing the furrows of age, the
sunken cheeks, the strange light
of wisdom in the deep-set eyes.
But, too, there were others:
Albert Einstein, Franklin D.
Roosevelt, Theodore Herzl,
Thomas Edison. And when she
took to the easel, there were
little paintings and sketches
which proved equally success-
ful . . . With such warm en-
thusiasm were met the endea-
vors of Mrs. Esther Moskovitz,
that the colorful little scene
with the sailboats and the little
country house on a grassy bank,
though unfinished, is already
sold!
