In 1896 Joe Lefkofsky came to Detroit from Chicago and opened Detroit's first
delicatessen, on Hastings and Jefferson Streets. His two sons, Harry and Goodman
(Goody) worked along with him in that store as children, and helped peddle Vienna
and Wilno products by horse and wagon as well. In 1914 they moved from the origi-
nal location to the newly built Broadway Market in downtown Detroit. Besides
their retail stand, operated under the name J. Lefkofsky & Sons, the Lefkofskys
also served as distributors for other delicatessens which opened in Detroit. All the
meat they sold was Vienna and Wilno kosher products shipped in from Chicago.

Joe Lefkofsky was active in the business until his death in 1927. In 1945 Harry
died, and the business was ultimately separated between the two branches of the
Lefkofsky family. Goody Lefkofsky became the sole Vienna-Wilno distributor to
the wholesale trade, while Harry's widow, Lil Lefkofsky and her family continued
with the luncheon counter in the Broadway Market. Her grandchildren still operate
that lunch counter today!
Amongst the most nostalgic memories of many old time
Detroiters is the aristocratic demeanor of Joseph Lefkofsky
and the sweet Yiddish Mama personality of Mrs. Joseph Lef-
kofsky — mixed of course with salivary thoughts of delicious
corned beef and other delicatessen items. People stood four
deep in front of the Lefkofsky stand in the Broadway Market,
where the congenial Goody and Harry with the assistance of
many countermen, who themselves later became delicatessen
owners, dished out hand sliced freshly cooked hot corned beef
and other items. It was the crossroads of old Detroiters. Any-
body and everybody patronized and cherished the Lefkofskys.
They were a legend in their own time and are certain of men-
tion whenever friends discuss corned beef and the good old
days.

Working along with Julius are his office manager Stanley Dishell, warehouse
managers Charlie Sanchez and Steve Gold, salesmen Marty Cook and Sid Wolf, and
a crew of drivers for the five trucks which leave the warehouse on a daily basis
loaded with Vienna & Wilno products. Julius is especially proud of the role he has
had in helping to establish new delicatessens in Detroit. As the Jewish population
moved to the suburbs, countermen and employees from the existing delicatessens
came to Julius for advice and assistance in opening delicatessens in these newly
developing parts of the metropolitan area. Julius advised these young men on loca-
tions and fixturing and helped many of them with their financing. Today these boys
are among the most loyal customers for Vienna and Wilno products. The beautiful
delicatessens built in the Detroit suburbs have served as models for delicatessens all
across the country.
Knesset Invited
to Washington
JERUSALEM (JTA) —
The U.S. Congress has in-
vited the Israel Knesset to
send a delegation of mem-
bers to Washington as its
guest. Speaker Yisrael Yes-
hayahu announced Tuesday
acceptance of the invitation,
received from Speaker Carl
Albert and Sen. Mike Mans-
field to visit at the head of
the delegation.
Yeshayahu said the date
and composition of the dele-
gation would be announced
soon.
The invitation, delivered
by Ambassador Malcolm
Toon, recalled the Knesset's
hospitality in recent months
to numerous groups of Sen-
ators and Congressmen vis-
iting Israel.
Today, Pollak's business, Vienna Wholesale Delicatessen, Inc., is the largest
distributorship in Detroit for pure beef products, including corned beef, pastrami,
bologna, salami, frankfurters and other smoked meats. But Pollak doesn't rely on
past performances; he continues to deliver the same kind of personalized old-fash-
ioned service that helped develop such a wide patronage. And he continues to appre-
ciate the continued patronage of the key accounts which have helped make the
Vienna and Wilno names household words in the Detroit metropolitan area.

ucts in Detroit, so that they could better serve the increasing
number of delicatessens serving fine Vienna-Wilno meats. In
1968 Julius Pollak bought Mitchell Feldman's interest in the
partnership and moved to a larger warehouse at 14558 Wyoming Avenue in Detroit.
The warehouse is centrally located and close to major expressways, to serve the
downtown and northwest suburban areas. The building has been completely refur-
bished by Julius Pollak to meet the strictest Federal and State requirements.
