there he was transferred to
the Bailey Co. store in
Cleveland where he super-
vised merchandising and
buying of wearing apparel
and furs.
He was associated with
the Denver Dry Goods Co.
in Denver, but his wife's
wish for him to be closer to
home brought him to a job
with Lamson Brothers Co.
in Toledo. Five years later,
after serving as buyer and
merchandiser of all wearing
apparel, the Gorneys re-
turned to Detroit.
Following a brief retire-
ment, Gorney returned to
work and was an advertis-
ing salesman for the North-
west Detroiter for 10 years,
prior to joining The Jewish
News staff.
Gorney exercises daily to
keep in shape.
A native of Bialystok,
Russia, Gorney came to De-
troit at age 7 with his par-
ents and brother, Jay, who
became a successful song-
writer.
Gorney has been a long-
time member of Perfection
Lodge of the Masons and is
a 32nd degree Shriner.
Gorney will be tendered a
party Wednesday on the oc-
casion of his birthday by his
daughter, Mrs. Herb
(Shirley) Miller. A son,
Richard, a former U.S. gov-
ernment chief engineer,
died in 1975. He is the
grandfather of eight, and
has two great-grand-
children.
Ben Gorney, happy birth-
day, you nice person!
