Fourth Street Family Album

 

Samuel Rosenthal sold woolens here at 747 South Fourth Street from 1917 until the early 1930's when he moved his business to Fifth Street.   By then, Fourth Street was specializing in ladies' silks and woolens, while Fifth Street specialized in men's woolens.  Rosenthal's is now a third generation business.
