Salzman is Henry Salzman. Brother to Morris Salzman. Morris was a much more successful merchant, with his main store in Brooklyn and many branches throughout NY State. Henry was only in New Haven. Both were in business from the late 19th century through prohibition in 1920, when they poured everything down the drain and went out of business (had they gone underground and sold during prohibition I'd probably be a lot more wealthy). Henry was my great grandfather."<br />Henry was my great grandfather, too. By chance, my son is M. Salzman so he has some of his great-great uncle's<br />jugs with his name on them.John Salzmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01767097374570161036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6657913448535983609.post-20437159379507584882019-03-21T06:35:41.808-07:002019-03-21T06:35:41.808-07:00Unknown: The most that anyone has written about S...Unknown: The most that anyone has written about Salzman is what you see here.
