Business & Professional ESTATE & FINANCIAL PLANNING NEGLIGENCE & PERSONAL INJURY FELONIES & MISDEMEANORS FAMILY LAW Divorce Property Division WSU's Jacob from page 45 Spousal Support Max Jacob paid the then-kingly sum of $20,000 to have the house constructed in 1915, according to university records. Martin B. Burkheiser designed the 8,000- square-foot, two-story, yellow brick Italianate villa. Jacob and his family lived in the house until 1924, after which it was bought by John J. Ryan. The univer- sity acquired the property in 1944 during the first wave of expansion that has become today's large, urban campus. It served as office and classroom space until the university trans- formed it into the president's resi- dence with a 1999 renovation that brought it back to 1915 style. Much of the $1.7 million cost of renovation was raised through private philan- thropy. Generations of the Jacob family have walked by its gracious facade. Bruce Jacob's mother, Irene Ruth Cohen Jacob, earned a bachelor's degree in education at Wayne in the early 1940s. Max Jacob's granddaughter, Elaine Jacob, earned a bachelor's degree in industrial design in 1942 and later funded a visiting artist fund in her name and a gallery housed in WSU's Old Main. Elaine Jacob, 89, is living in north- ern California and is expected to make the trek to campus this fall for the big company anniversary party. "The extended family is now large and spread all over the country — hundreds of people will be coming for the celebration',' says Bruce Jacob, who serves on the six-member board of M. Jacob & Sons. So, what's more exciting: celebrat- ing the two new graduates who are heading into the world or the fact that the family business is celebrat- ing its 125th anniversary? "I think 125 years in business beats my col- lege graduation',' Gregory Jacob says, laughing. Gregory plans to work in market- ing at the business founded by Max Jacob, which was the first company to recycle bottles and the first to use plastic for bottles. "I will be the fifth generation of the family working there — it's pretty amazing, especially to have the business doing so well. The rest of the industry is down and we're up',' Gregory Jacob says.
