Heading: history of luria

Text: 11 The Luria business began about 1889 when the grandfather and greatgrand-father of the present generation of Lurias began to collect scrap. A small office was opened in Reading, Pennsylvania, and the business was incorporated in 1918. By 1930, Luria had opened offices in New York, Pittsburgh, Boston and Philadelphia and set up two yards in Pennsylvania. By 1946, Luria had become a substantial supplier to eleven of the petitioning mills. At the same time Luria expanded westward opening offices in Detroit, Chicago, Cleveland, Houston and St. Louis. Later Luria opened offices in Colorado, Alabama, Utah, California and Oregon. Domestically Luria is the largest scrap broker with 16 offices and 6 yards located in representative cities throughout the country. When the Korean War ended in 1953, Luria entered the export market by supplying Hugo Neu, a broker specializing in the export of scrap. In 1954, Luria and two other brokers joined forces and entered into export agreements with OCCF.
