Ehrlich, daughters, Mrs. Milton
Klivans (Beatrice Ehrlich) of
Youngstown, 0., and Mrs. Law-
rence Michelson (Helen Ehrlich),
along with other members of his
family.
Mr. Ehrlich, who • came to this
country and to this city about 50
years ago, with his young wife,
pioneered in the jewelry business,
opening a tiny store on Adams and
Hastings, which was then in the
center of Jewish life.
Grandmothers Remember
The• mothers and grandmothers
of this generation of Jewish boys
and girls remember well the
young, hard working Mr. Ehrlich,
and many of them still have the
wedding rings they bought at
"Ehrlich's." Later he operated a
chain of jewelry stores in Detroit
and vicinity.
Mr. Ehrlich came from a small
town in Russia and is typical of
the poor Russian and Polish im-
migrant, who came here with his
traditions and his profound re-
spect for Jewish education and
the religion of his fathers—and
helped in their own way and with
sacrifices to build up the commun-
ity, its houses of worship and its
other Jewish institutions.
