Franklin Simon
Franklin Simon (February 7, 1865 – October 4, 1934), was the owner of Franklin Simon & Co., a department store in Manhattan, New York City. The store was founded in February 1902, when Simon partnered with Herman A. Flurscheim.
==Early life==
Born on New York City's Lower East Side in 1865 to Henri and Helene Simon, Franklin had three brothers and three sisters. Simon's father, Henri, was a cigar-maker and wood carver. His mother, Helene, was a seamstress.〔Census of 1870.〕 After his father's untimely death in 1878, Simon found work at a cash-boy at Stern Brothers, a dry goods store located at 32–36 West 23rd Street. One of the store's principals, Louis Stern, befriended young Simon, teaching him the "ropes" of dry goods.〔"Franklin Simon, long ill, Dies at 69."'' The New York Times''. October 5, 1934. Retrieved 21 July 2013.〕
By age 21, Simon was earning $5000 per year, a considerable sum at that time.〔''id.''〕 In 1892, Simon married Frances Carroll, the daughter of a New York City Sheriff. The couple had four children: Franklin Simon Jr., who died July 3, 1902, Arthur J. Simon (1892–1968); Helene Simon (1895–?); and George D. Simon (1898–1944).
As his responsibilities at Stern Brothers increased, Simon was sent overseas to Paris as a buyer for the firm.〔''id.''〕 It was during one of these business trips that Simon became acquainted with Herman A. Flurscheim, one of Stern Brothers' principal suppliers in France.〔''id.''〕 The two became friends and soon made plans to go into business together, importing French fashions into the United States.〔''id.''〕
