to-school” sale was in the Aug. 20,
1937, issue of the Jewish Chronicle.
It’s an ad for boys’ clothes from
Hudson’s that explained why their
knickers wore so well!
The first back-to-school ad for
girls appears to be about the new
Juliet in the Sept. 1, 1967, issue of
the JN. It featured “Giestex by Giest
& Giest.” I’m not quite sure what that
means, but it was available for the big,
two-day Labor Day sale!

As leaders of their agencies,
Nancy Heinrich of Jewish Senior
Life and Perry Ohren of Jewish
Family Service each provide a great
deal to Jewish community members
in need. When programs or services
are mutually beneficial, cooperation
is key, so the agencies joined forces
with Hebrew Free Loan to support
the D. Dan and Betty Kahn Older
Adult Care Loan Fund (KOACLF)
housed at HFL. The fund assists
seniors and their families with
funding some of the costs of living
comfortably as they age. Working
together, the agencies can benefit
a greater number of residents than
each could alone.
“It’s one great tool in our toolbox,”
said Perry. “What the KOACLF can
do for JFS clients, for example, is
help pay for therapies or home
modifications or equipment that our
seniors need to age in place.”
“In life we have transitions, and
those can be costly,” Nancy said.
“We might not be prepared right
then to meet those expenses. The
KOACLF could help fill a gap.”
The fund, Nancy and Perry said,
can help seniors and their loved
ones keep their options open, adapt
to the circumstances that arise in
their lives, and offer choices.
“Whether it’s a home setting or
senior apartments like ours, no two
situations are alike,” Nancy said.
“It’s good for family and caregivers
to know they can call us to get to a
network of options.”
Perry agreed. “Regardless of the
need, if JFS doesn’t have the
answer, we know who does,” he
said. “It doesn’t matter if your point
of entry is us or someone else. It’s
good for our community when our
agencies link arms in support. We
all benefit.”

t’s August, and you moms out
there know what that means —
the kids will soon be going back
to school, and it’s time to shop and
make sure they are well-dressed and
well-equipped. Hopefully, you will
locate some good sales in the stores, or
in today’s world, online. All of which
made me ask myself — when did
“back-to-school” sales first arrive in the
JN and Jewish Chronicle?

Story
Hebrew Free Loan gives interest-
free loans to members of our
community for a variety of
personal and small business
needs. HFL loans are funded
entirely through community
donations which continually
recycle to others, generating
many times the original value
to help maintain the lives of
local Jews.
