[Added by the editor:] The map shows a handful of businesses, a few of them free-standing, with the balance operating out of a home:
Starting at the northwest end of the main street:
· A bakery, owner unknown
· A tailor, owner unknown
· An unspecified shop, perhaps a grocery, in one of two homes shown as owned by Rachmil Stavsky
· The Beitar Club, located in a home owned by Benny Goldfarb
· The Kupershmit Shenk (tavern), containing also an unspecified shop
· Englander's bakery, in the home of Yitchak Englander, father of Shmuel Englander
· Reizke Englander's snack kiosk
· The Club Freiheit Dror
· The Tabashnik Grocery
On the southwest side of the main street:
· A smithy (blacksmith), owner unknown
· Sobelman's goods storage shed
· The Kobil smithy (blacksmith)
On the northeast side of the main street:
· A shoemaker shop in the Lehrer home
· A tailor shop in the Rodevsky home
· A roof tile shop, owned by the Dudik Family
· A slaughterhouse
· The Gevirtz butcher shop
· The Shuster horse stable
| Editor's Notes: This information does not align very well with the information in the1928 Polish Business Survey, perhaps at best indicating that Shmuel recalled a situation as it was over a decade later, plenty of time for numerous changes. Or, inaccuracies in the Survey: it fails to list a bakery, which almost certainly would have existed in 1929 in a Jewish village of even this modest size. Perhaps a grocery: The Survey lists R. Stavsky as a food dealer.
Beitar: As described here, this was a Zionist youth movement. Freiheit Dror: As described here, this was a socialist Zionist youth movement. Sobelman's shed: Sobelman is listed as a food dealer in the 1928 Polish Business Survey. The location of his shop is not shown on Shmuel's map. Horse stable: Presumed to be a business, as a private stable would seem to be out of reach of people in a modest village. |
