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

Billhead - COHEN, M. D.....52 NORTH SECOND STREET BELOW ARCH, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.....circa 1850.....CAP MFG......GREAT VINGET OF CAP. Myer David (M. D.) Cohen (1811–1865) was a German Jewish immigrant from Prussia who established himself in Philadelphia’s bustling commercial district. He operated a "Fur Store," acting as a fancy furrier and cap manufacturer. He specialized in fashionable fur trimmings and wholesale/retail caps, actively buying raw animal skins from traders at full market price. His business at 52 North Second Street was situated "two doors below Arch Street" in what is now Philadelphia's historic Old City. During the 1850s, Second Street was a major commercial hub dense with textile, clothing, and accessory manufacturers. Today, this corridor is preserved under the Old City Historic District.Myer David Cohen and his family were highly influential in the early development of American Jewish civic and religious institutions. In an era when keeping a business closed on Saturday was financially difficult and rare in the United States, historical newspaper advertisements for M. D. Cohen explicitly stated, "The store is always closed on Saturdays." This strict adherence to the Jewish Sabbath (Shabbat) was a proud marker of traditional Jewish identity in early Philadelphia commerce. In 1837, Myer David Cohen married Judith Simha da Silva Solis. She belonged to a highly prominent Sephardic Jewish family that traced its roots back to the Iberian Peninsula and 17th-century Amsterdam. Upon their marriage, she requested that their lineages be formally joined, giving rise to the prominent Solis-Cohen dynasty in Philadelphia.Through his marriage and Philadelphia business, M. D. Cohen fathered children who became towering figures in American medicine and Jewish communal affairs. His eldest son, Dr. Jacob da Silva Solis-Cohen (1838–1927), served as a Union Army surgeon during the Civil War. He is celebrated historically as the "Father of Laryngology" in the United States, performing the first successful laryngectomy for laryngeal cancer in the country. Another son, Dr. Solomon Solis-Cohen (1857–1948), became a celebrated professor of clinical medicine. He was profoundly active in Jewish activities, helping found the Jewish Publication Society of America, the Jewish Theological Seminary, and the Philadelphia Young Men's Hebrew Association (YMHA).

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.
