AARON PLITTMAN
1801 Penn Ave., Pittsburgh, Pa.
First mention of Aaron Plittman is in 1912
when he had a saloon at 2700 Jane Street, South
Side. In 1914 he moved his saloon to 1801 Penn
Ave. where he also resided.
When prohibition became a reality in 1918,
Aaron Plittman changed his business to a res-
taurant which he operated until 1924 when he
started selling soft drinks. It must be pre-
sumed that 1924 is the year of issue for the
token as Aaron Plittman is listed as a salesman
in 1925, as in real estate in 1926, and as
treasurer of the Hebrew Institute in 1927.
Aaron and Mary Plittman had a daughter,
