MAX LANTIN
Arizona, The Youngest State, Page 550

Max Lantin is the owner of the Lantin Building, in which he 
conducts one of the largest wholesale and retail men's furnishing 
stores in Globe.  A native of Germany, he was born in Prussia in 
1874 and is a son of Solomon and Bessie Lantin.  The mother died 
in the fatherland and the father is still living in that country.

Max Lantin acquired a limited education in the public schools of 
Prussia but when he was sixteen years of age, he laid aside his 
textbooks and since that time had depended uon his own resources. 
He crossed the Atlantic to America and pushed westward to Texas, 
settling in El Paso, where he became clerk in a store.  That 
occupation he continued to follow after coming to Arizona, 
settling first at Jerome and then in Prescott.  In 1900 he 
removed to Globe and established a men's furnishing store, 
beginning on a small scale and gradually developing a concern 
which is now a substantial element in the city's resources. It's 
expansion made larger quarters necessary and in 1906 he erected 
the Lantin Building and moved his stock into it, conducting 
today one of the largest and finest wholesale and retail 
enterprises in the city. He is courteous in manner and holds 
the favor of his patrons through honest, modern and legitimate 
methods. He owns one of the finest residences in Globe and 
also a large amount of business and residence property here 
and in Richmond, California.

In 1904 Mr. Lantin married Miss I.E. Solomon, who was born in 
Solomonville, Arizona, daughter of I.E. and Annie Solomon, 
who were among the early settlers at Graham and Solomonville. 
Mr. and Lantin have two children: Phillip A., born in September 
1905 and Elizabeth ,born December 21, 1908.  The family are 
all devout members of the Jewish chruch.

Fraternally Mr. Lantin is connected with the Knights of Pythias. 
He gives his political allegiance to the Republican party and 
as a loyal and public-spirited citizen takes an interest in 
community affairs, although never an office seeker. He has been 
eminently successfully and his prosperity is all the more 
creditable from the fact that it is due entirely to his own 
efforts. Coming to America at the age of sixteen years with 
no capital except ambition, determiniation and energy, he has 
steadily worked his way upward in the business world until 
today he ranks among the most substnatital, progressive and 
representative men of Globe.
