Text autocorrect incorrectly changed Harry Glotzer's middle name to Ellie in my prior post, but it should have been Eli.

I found this 1902 blurb, which leads me to suspect furs were a Glotzer family business**...

** Another online resource confirms that Samuel J. Glotzer was the Glotzer in the 1902 business and was the father of Harry.

So fascinating and close to home, thank you!

Yes, it looks like Benjamin was a furrier, his son Samuel was a furrier, and then Samuel's son Harry was a furrier.

It's interesting both Samuel and his son Harry were married to women named Rose
