Unknown Newspaper
Isadore Weil
"Founder of Weil's Clothing"
March 14, 1864 - April 12, 1944 
Isadore Weil, one of four brothers who came from Alsace-Lorraine before 1880,
died at Los Angeles, Calif, last Wednesday according to a letter received in
Clarinda by Harold Douthit, manager of the store which still carries the Weil name.

He had been ill for a short time following a major operation. His widow and
daughter-in-law, Mrs. Harry Weil, were taking the body back to Patterson, NJ,
for burial. The two sons, Harry and Bu, live in New York. 
Mr. Weil had reached his eightieth birthday March 14. Mr. Weil was the last
surviving of the four brothers, leaving Clarinda in 1903 to engage in
manufacturing of clothing at Patterson, NJ. His factory developed finally into
exclusively making of shirts, the Excello shirts being one of the leading
nationally advertised lines. He had sold his interests and retired from the
business several years ago, leaving his son, Harry, still with the firm.
