> My grandfather's brother-in-law had a store many years ago: Silberblatt's Mens Clothing. Does anyone know what became of the family that owned the store or what became of the store?
I REMEMBER THE STORE AND ONE OF THE SILBERBLATT'S WHO OWNED THE STORE. HE WAS A FRIEND OF MR. SLOAN WHO OWNED ROHRER'S DRUG STORE ON THE CORNER MARKET STREET AND I'M NOT SURE. ITS THE STREET WHERE MILLER HOGGIE SHOP WAS LOCATED. ANYWAYS MR. SILBERBLATT CAME INTO THE DRUG STORE SEVERAL TIMES A DAY. I WORKED THERE AS A SODA JERK DURING MY HIGH SCHOOL DAYS. I'M NOT SURE HOW FAR AWAY HIS STORE WAS BUT I KNOW THE DRUG STORE BURNT DOWN ALONG TIME AGO. DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED TO THE FAMILY BUT I STILL REMEMBER MR. SILBERBLATT.I ALSO REMEMBER HIM GOING TO PITTSBURG ON MANY OCCASIONS TO BUY JEWISH BREADS/BAGETS/ETC. WHICH HE WOULD SHARE WITH MR. SLOAN AND HIS WIFE. SORRY I COULD NOT OFFER MORE ON THIS TO HELP YOU.
