Jack Brod
Irven "Jack" Brod (November 29, 1909 – January 6, 2008) was an American businessman and innovator. He was the President of Empire Diamond and Gold Buying Service, currently a successful New York City-based jewellery business, which he established with his father in the Empire State Building two months after its opening in 1931. Brod was a tenant of the Empire State Building for around seventy-seven years, and was the last remaining original tenant at the time of his death.
==Early life==
Brod was born in Newnan, Georgia to parents who emigrated from Russia and changed their last name from "Brodsky".〔 Brod attended the University of Alabama, although he did not continue his studies after moving to New York City with his family prior to graduation. Before partnering with his father, Alexander, in leading the Empire Diamond and Gold Buying Service, Brod was employed as a private investigator, amongst other professions.
During World War II, after forming the business in New York, Brod served in the Army Air Corps as a corporal. He was assigned by the Corps to England, where he loaded bombs into aircraft.〔 During his assignment, he purchased rare antiques and collectibles from the formerly-wealthy owners of English houses who had suffered due to the war and the Great Depression. Brod shipped the items back to the United States by boat for sale and private collection.
