Having overcome their humble origins, by the 1920s and 30s Mr and Mrs Laubman were active participants in Adelaide's social and arts scene, sponsoring, among other things, the Laubman and Pank Gallery.
After Maude Laubman died in 1947, daughter Eulalie Laubman (1908-1989), kept house for Carl in the family home at Henley Beach in suburban Adelaide.
