Maurice L. Rothschild, owner of one of the largest clothing stores in the Chicago Loop district, today announced his complete adherence to the boycott of German-made goods in a letter to Dr. Paul M. Hutchinson, president of the Chicago Committee for the Defense of Human Rights Against Nazism.
“We have refused to buy German goods for more than a year,” Rothschild wrote. “We have received no German goods since that time and our entire stock of what is left of German goods amounts to less than $200. We do not expect to buy German goods again until Germany is humanized,” Rothschild declared.
