Notes for Jakub POLLAK
{geni:occupation} Businessman
{geni:about_me} According to Hanna WIENER his granddaughter Jakub loved Schweinbraten so it seems he was not very religious even though his father was a Rabbi and Hebrew teacher!.
He founded Firma Vigo the family business which owned a shop in Celetna 9. The business is listed in the Prager Zeitung (Amtsblatt) on Sat May 1904. It is firm# 2088 and address is house number 553 Celetna which is where he livedwith Wilhelmine and Irma and Victor and Hans. Name of firm was Jakob POLLAK Handel mit Wirkwaren. It was entered into the business register on 21 May 1904. By 1929 the firm is at Celetna 9.
6/8/1913 Viktor is named as Prokurist for Firma Vigo. (Representative and buyer)
His granddaughter Hanna Winer told me that Jacob sold buttons for the army uniforms and that's how he made a lot of his money early on. He had his office at the back of the shop on the Stupartska side. You could walk through fromCeletna then.
