Truman & Jacobson's famous habadashery on W. 12th Street near Baltimore in the street-level space of the Glennon Hotel. The Philips Hotel is there today.
Truman and Eddie Jacobson in the store. The store failed to survive the Depression, but it cemented a life-long friendship. Jacobson, a Reform Jew, is credited with influencing Truman to recognize the State of Israel, which granted it instant legitimacy. Israel named a small town after Truman. One of the major Jewish rabbis and leaders told Truman that "God put you in your mother's womb to bring about the rebirth of Israel, and fullfill a 2,000 year old prophecy," which caused Truman to choke up, and brought tears to his eyes.
Imagine someone telling you that! :) Few American presidents have overseen the creation of a nation, and Truman counts among them.
