v.p: v.d
The Ahaveth Sholem Lodge of B’nai B’rith was based out of Corry, Penn, founded by Meyer Berliner and his son Jacob Berliner. In 1900, five years after the death of his father, Jacob Meyer and his two sons, Lawrence and Manfred, launched the Corry Hide and Fur Company with offices located on West Main Street in Corry. Following the death of Manfred in 1924, Lawrence moved with his mother, Emily, to New York City. In the 1930’s, Berliner returned to Corry before relocating to Florida in the 1940’s. (See The Berliner Family Papers: Senator John Heinz History Center, Pittsburgh, PA).
