Abe Orbuch was born in a small town in Poland near the Russian border. He fled Poland at 21 to avoid conscription into the Russian military, settling in St. Paul.  He bought a Model-T Ford and traveled to small towns outside of St. Paul where he sold fruit.  He formed friendships with many in the Polish community in Foley and commuted to a poultry business he owned there for over forty years.  He bought chickens, eggs and veal from Foley farmers and sold them sugar, flour and twine.<br><p><b>Date:</b> 1930<br><b>Source:</b> 16.5 cm x 11.6 cm<br><b>Format:</b> Black and white photo<br><b>Subject:</b> Agriculture; Portraits; Farmers; Poultry; Jewish businesses<br><b>Coverage:</b> Foley; Benton; Minnesota; United States<br><b>Local Identifier:</b> 398<br><b>Link to our record:</b> <a rel="nofollow" class="external free" href="http://reflections.mndigital.org/u?/jhs,259">http://reflections.mndigital.org/u?/jhs,259</a><br></p>
