Clematis Street Merchants

Now the city's lively main business street, this street was where early Jewish settlers opened retail stores. By the early 1920s, retail stores included Joseph Schulpler's hat store, Cy Argintar's Men's Shop and Toby and Selma Myers' luggage business (at 210 Clematis). Another Clematis Street business, Pioneer Linen (329 Clematis), evolved from an earlv Lake Worth hardware business founded in 1912 by Max Greenberg.
