Broadside in Form of Currency - 1860's-70's Benjamin Shuman Advertising Facsimile Currency Patriotic Boy Flag & a Side wheeler with sails...21 South Main St., Providence, Rhode Island...Manufactuer/Wholesaler and Retailer of Clothing....successor to Louis Lewinson. Benjamin Shuman was Jewish, and his commercial and religious presence in mid-19th-century Providence is well-preserved in regional historical records. During the 1850s and 1860s, the bustling commercial district on South Main Street in Providence hosted several pioneering Jewish merchants. Benjamin Shuman operated a prominent retail clothing establishment here known as the "Clothing Bazaar". Historical documentation from Small State Big History reveals that Shuman purchased this store directly from Louis Lewisson, another foundational Jewish entrepreneur in Rhode Island. Under Lewisson, the shop became famous for issuing "advertising currency"-scrip designed to look like real bank notes to draw in customers. When Shuman bought the business, he modified the shop's original advertising woodcuts to explicitly feature Benjamin Shuman's name on the promotional handbills. He ran the shop successfully until selling it to Elisha W. Frank in the early 1860s. ] Benjamin Shuman belongs to the earliest wave of organized Jewish life in Providence. Rather than keeping his faith private, he was a vocal leader trying to build permanent communal infrastructure. His most notable documented actions include the 1857 Touro Fund Petition. On April 12, 1857, Benjamin Shuman and fellow merchant Abraham Wormser co-authored and sent a historic letter to Rabbi Isaac Leeser of Philadelphia. Leeser was the premier traditional Jewish leader in the United States and editor of the prominent Jewish monthly The Occident. In the letter, Shuman and Wormser formally inquired if the late philanthropist Judah Touro had left any bequeathed funds to assist small, emerging congregations in building a permanent house of Jewish worship. Furthermore, regarding his involvement in the founding community circle, Shuman is explicitly named in the Rhode Island Jewish Historical Notes on the exclusive ledger of the original "ten heads of families". These individuals were the primary Jewish residents who established the secular and religious footprint for the Providence Jewish community before the massive late-19th-century migrations

Trade Card - Excelsior Clothiers .....Comical re: mother-in-law......,,,verso full ad for one year birthday 3/27/1884...Excelsior Clothiers was a notable retail clothing store located at 201–211 Superior Street in Cleveland, Ohio, during the late 19th century. Situated in the Rouse Block, a prominent commercial building on the northwest corner of Public Square and Superior Street. Jacob Steinfeld was a prominent member of Cleveland's German-Jewish immigrant merchant class during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. His success as a retail pioneer allowed him to help shape the city's early commercial landscape while becoming a major figure in its growing Jewish communal network. Operating under the banner of Excelsior Clothiers at 201-211 Superior Street, Steinfeld earned the newspaper moniker the "Old Reliable" clothier. His business was highly regarded for introducing high-volume, affordable, ready-made clothing to Cleveland's working class. Leveraging his retail wealth, he heavily invested in local real estate, hiring the renowned architectural firm Lehman & Schmitt to construct a massive multi-story commercial building on Woodland Avenue in 1891, as well as a large personal estate and barn complex on East 55th Street in 1889. As a highly successful businessman, Steinfeld was a key early member and patron of The Excelsior Club. Founded in 1872, the institution served as the primary social and cultural epicenter for Cleveland's elite German-Jewish community during an era when they were excluded from mainstream Gentile social clubs. Beyond social circles, his philanthropy extended deep into the community; he supported early Jewish orphanages, immigrant relief funds, and welfare charities recorded in historical registries like the American Jewish Year Book. Steinfeld's commitment to his community extended to preserving its history and honoring its dead. He was actively involved in the development and maintenance of Mayfield Cemetery, a landmark Jewish cemetery established in 1887 by the Euclid Avenue Temple and Tiffereth Israel congregations. Upon his death, he was interred there alongside his peers, cementing his legacy within Cleveland's Jewish history.
