HEBREWS AS FARMERS.
In discussing tne success of Ile-
brews as farmers in Connecticut and
elsewhere the American Hebrew
says:
in one case. that of the Rabinowltz
family. noar“ Norwich. Conn, the lathe
or lived on a small farm and his two
sons worked for him. By din of
perseverance and hard labor. they
succeeded in saving sufficient money
for the father and two sons together
to buv a 240-acre farm, which they are
now Working as partners. The two
sons are married and have moved
their families to the new farm, which
gives promise of considerable pros-
pcrlty.
The ease of the (ioldstein family of
Fairfield. Conn. is different in so far
as the sons. Abraham and Louis, have
left their father (who has two other
mus to help him) and have. establish—
ed themselves nearby on a 50~aere
t'nrin. iti which they have invested
$I.2;'itl_ saved while working for their
father. '
The Poll farm. near Norma. N, .I.,
was established about four years agO.
and has since then been successfully
operated. Twoi'sotis of the. proprietors
who have been operators on clothing
in New York have assisted their father
to pay off ationgage which he was
forced to place on his farm, In addi-
tion, theyli . succeeded in saving
enough to (fabric their father's ex-
ample. and. to other with their Uncle
llerkowitz. haste purchased a farm of
about 100 acres. They have. moved
there from New York. and have now
definitely given up the. tailor's trade.
