He left here May 3, accompanied by liis wife, son and daughter, with .the hope that an ocean voyage and waters of the noted springs of Europe would benefit his health. The news of the merchant's death was a decided shock to his relatives and friends and the business community of this city. Solomon Kahn was a native of New York city and was 52 years of age. The family came to California in 1577, lo cating first in San Francisco. In 1579 the family moved to this city and three of the brothers, Solomon, Henry and Fred Kahn. embarked in the dry goods business, their first store being at 1003 Broadway. Later the iirm moved to 1107 Broadway and from the latter lo- [ cation to the northeast corner of Wash ington and Twelfth streets, the present home of the firm. Kahn Brothers pur chased the site and erected a substan tial building- thereon, which they en larged from time to time. WORKER FOR IIO.ME CITY Although a busy business man and a hard> worker. Kahn found time *o perform good deeds . and promote the welfare of his home- city. He was a member of many civic and fra ternal organizations. He served for several terms as president of the Oak land board of trade, which merged into the chamber of commerce. Kahn be came a member of the latter organiza tion and his advice and counsel were constantly sought by the directorate of the chamber. ) While never taking an active interest in politics Kahn always stood for good government. He never sought a polit ical office, although importuned many times to do so. The only public posi tion he ever permitted himself to ac cept was that of a member of the board of directors of the Industrial Home for the Adult Blind of this city. He was almost forced to take that po sition by the managers of the institu tion, whoi wanted the use of Kahn's business judgment and executive abil ity to put the home, which had fallen upon hard lines, on a sound business basis. When this had been accom pfished. largely through Kahn's en ergy and efforts, he resigned. PLEASURE IN BENEFACTIONS It was always a pleasure for Kahn to be in a position- to do a charitable act, but his giving was not done in the glare of notoriety, but with the jinder standing that the world was not to know of his benefactions. In times. of trouble and misfortunes Kahn's em ployes and friends found him ever ready to lend : a helping hand. This characteristic led to his being chosen director of the Pacific Hebrew orphan asylum and the Home for the Aged i and Disabled In San Francisco. • His de votion to his religious belief was sin cere and unobtrusive. He took an'abld ing interest in the affairs of the syna gogue at Twelfth and Castro streets. Kahn was a Mason of the thirty second degree. He was also a member of the order of B'nai B'rlth. He Is survived by his widow, a -daughter, Henriette, and a son, Irving. He was a brother of Fred Kahn of this city, John Kahn of Los Angeles, Mrs. Hanna ¥L Zclmer of this city, Mrs. Albert El kins of : Sacramento, - Mrs. Simon Kat teo-of San Francisco, Mrs. Henry. S. ManTTeTm of this city, the late Henry Kahn of this city and the late Dr.:S. S. Kahn of San Francisco. The body "will be brought to this city.
