Prior to its ropresent program for expansion, Pollock’s has been for many years an active firm here. Established by Louis Pollock 12 years ago, it was pur- chased in June, 1944 by his son, the present owner and manager, Robert 4E. Pollock. Having lived in Palm Beach and Nassau, Mr. no city could offer more than those two well known resorts. Consequently, his originial in- tention was to dispose of the business quickly and return to New York. Paradoxically, it was that experience which immedi- ately made him realize that Key West had more, inherent natural resources than cither of the two above cities. All that was needed was to in- form the public of this and Key West would assume its rightful position. With this thought in mind he made Key West his permanent home and its future became his his ‘heartedly in civic * Pollock’s, ner he has participated whole- groups events for the improvement of j the city. Robert E. Pollock, represents the fourth gencration of the Pol- lock family engaged throughout in the jewelry business. He cut his first tooth on one of his grandfather's watchmakers tuols, and was serving the pub- lic as soon as his chin reached above the top of a showcase. He reached maturity well grounded in the important fundamentals of the jewelry profession but with the new and modern mer- chandising ideas instilled in phi Bence al . - Pollock stated that in re-| rent years the United States market has been flooded with attarctive yet inferior merchan- dise, all classified as jewelry.

Realizing this, Mr. Pol lock changed the old Reliable Jeweler, to} Pollock’s, Quality Jewelers and more and more jewel are today following his exam- ple of emphasizing the quality a their wares.
