growth. Day Krolik Jr. is the cur-
rent head of the firm.
One of the firm's giants who

many years.

Rabbi Organizing
Group to Benefit
Soldiers in Israel
Organization of a Detroit chap-
ter of the Association for Welfare
of Soldiers in Israel is the aim
of Rabbi Irving A. Schnipper of
Cong. Beth Moses.
Rabbi Schnipper, whose own con-
gregation has been active in es-
tablishment of a room at the
soldiers' home in Beersheba, hopes
to win the support of other congre-
gations, organizations and indi-
viduals.
He explained that because of
the great strain on Israel's fight-
ing men, the association is in-
volved with the building of rest
camps and soldiers' houses
throughout the country. Such
homes give the soldiers an op-
portunity for rest from field life.
The homes supply free holiday
facilities; many contain a hospital,
recreational facilities and a conva-
lescent home.
The appeal for creation of a
Detroit chapter came from Lt. Col.
David Laor, director of organiza-
tion and supervision of the Wel-
fare Association. He said that no
campaign for funds is under way,
but that by siniply becoming a
member of the association the in-
dividual furthers the aims of the
group.

HENRY A. KROLIK
directors. But he gave up active
association with the Krolik Corpo-
ration to enroll in the Wayne State
University law school and presently
is practicing law.
Starting with a master of public
administration degree, intending to
be in civil service, Krolik worked
for the family corporation after a
period with the government. He
left the firm in 1959 to enter law
school and began the practice of
law in 1963.
His wife Bessie is a member of
the board of Federation Apart-
ments and is on the health and
welfare committee of the Jewish
Welfare Federation.
Their son, Julian H. Krolik II,
is a fourth year student in mathe-
matics and physics at MIT. Their
daughter Bebette is a graduate of
Brandeis University.
Said Henry Krolik:
"As in my own case, there were
many who were given jobs by my
father to earn a bit to be able to
continue their studies. A number
of Detroit's professional men had
that experience. Julian Krolik gave
them jobs, they saved a bit' and
studied. That's what I accom-
plished to be able to enter the law
profession."
Henry Krolik has been active
in the Democratic Party and he
frequently attends public functions.
His wife plays a leading role in
Hadassah, Allied Jewish Campaign
and many other Jewish causes.
Three cousins, Adolph, Henry
and Herman Krolik, came to
Michigan in the 1850s. Starting out
as peddlers, literally with packs
on their backs, they were opera-
ting successfully out of Rochester
by the early 1860s.
Adolph Krolik died in 1893, Her-
man in 1916 and Henry in 1922.
During these years, the partner-
ship was joined and continued in
the hands of a new generation.
Adolph's sons Day and Joe, Hen-
ry's son Julian, and Adolph's son-
in-law David Scheyer, became part-
ners.
The expanding A. Krolik and
Co. built its own warehouses and
offices at the corner of Jefferson
and Randolph in 1918. This multi-
storied building designed by Albert
Kahn incorporated all the best
display and material-handling tech-
niques then known. This building
served as the company's home
under the partnership until 1922,
then the succeeding corporation,
A. Krolik and Company, Inc. It
served the present organization,
the Krolik Corporation, until the
building was taken over by the
Veterans Administration in 1948.
At that time, we became the first
major apparel wholesaler with a
single-floor operation in the move
to Midland Avenue, first to an
existing single-story building and
four years later, to the present 405
Midland address, again built spe-
cifically for our own use.
Day Krolik was the president of
A. Krolik and Co., Inc. and then
of the Krolik Corporation until his
retirement in 1948. Julian Krolik
continued active in the daily man-
agement of the business until 1948
and as an officer and a director
until his death in 1956. Bert M.
Greene, who had joined the corn-
pany in 1909, followed Day Krolik
as president.
Lester Trombley, who started
as an elevator boy in 1919, suc-
ceeded Bert, Greene as president
in 1956, and Day Krolik Jr. who
came to Krolik's in 1948, followed
Trombley as president in 1969.

neers by Irving I. Katz appeared
