1 The founder of the firm of Harris Frank, opening a new store at Court and streets, was a former resident of San Bernardino. The clothing pioneer who founded the now-famous clothing store system of the west was the late Leopold H. Harris. That was in 1856. Harris was born in Prussia in 1S36.

He came to the United States in 1854, by way of the Isthmus of Panama, and, after a year in San Francisco, he came to Los Angeles and found it a sleepy sun-drenched little village with a population of less than people. He immediately saw the opportunities presented by Southern California, and so in 1S56 he es tablished a tiny store in the very Mi Tiii iiwwIMWMaMBiwnTni At the time it Its reputation center oi xne cumiiiunuj uUi-j FOUNDER This old-time pho-ness life, such as it was at the1 Harri EARLY STORE This is one of the earlier Harris Frank stores in Los Angeles. was considered one of the finest structure from a standpoint of architecture In the city, for merchandise was equally as good. r- founder of Harris Frank stores, was made JUSt befre h'S erterf hnsiness lime.

A year later Frank became a partner in the firm and the company name was changed to Harris Frank. In addition to becoming Harris' partner, Frank also became his son-in-law, marrying his beautiful daughter, Sarah. The marriage took place at the huge Harris home, located then at the southwest corner of Eighth and Hill streets. Some years later as the Harris business interests expanded in Southern California, Harris moved to San Bernardino, where he resided for a period of eight years. Here he lived and' took part in community and civic affairs.
