    • CLARENCE LEE MANNHEIMER.

      For many years Clarence Lee Mannheimer has been numbered among the prominent
      and progressive citizens of Bend. He has been active in mercantile circles as a partner
      of his brother but is now conducting alone the Bend store known as Mannheimer
      Brothers, while his brother is active in the conduct of a branch store at Redmond.

      Clarence Lee Mannheimer was born in Chicago, Illinois, in 1887, a son of Julius and
      Hannah (Wurzburg) Mannheimer. His father was one of the pioneer residents of
      Chicago and was for thirty years in the employ of one firm. His death occurred in
      1916. Hannah Wurzburg was born in New England and was but six years of age when
      she removed to Chicago with her parents. She was reared at Adams and Franklin
      streets, the home occupying the site now covered by the wholesale department of Mar-
      shall Field & Company.

      In the acquirement of an education Clarence Lee Mannheimer attended the grade
      and high schools of his native city and started his commercial life as a clerk in a whole-
      sale notion house there. He was engaged along that line for four years when he became
      a traveling salesman and spent the following four years covering the middle western
      states. In the spring of 1911 he removed to Portland and there secured employment
      with a wholesale house, his object being to acquire a knowledge of trade methods on
      the coast. In November of the same year he determined to enter the mercantile business
      on his own account and upon looking around tor a suitable location he decided upon Bend.
      In association with a brother he established a department store, known as Mannheimer
      Brothers, which within the intervening ten years has come to be the leading mercantile
      establishment of the city. The business was first conducted upon a modest scale but
      as the result of carrying a high grade of goods, courteous treatment on the part of the
      employes, truthful representation and an earnest effort to please, he soon built up a
      trade that required larger quarters. The present quarters are on Wall steet, the busiest
      portion of the retail section. The store has a frontage of thirty-five feet with a depth of
      one hundred feet and a balcony on which ready-to-wear goods is displayed, its dimensions
      being thirty-five by seventy feet. The value of the stock in the original store was five
      thousand dollars while the stock now carried is valued at over forty thousand dollars.
      The kinds of stock carried include dry goods, men's and women's ready-to-wear, shoes,
      notions and draperies. A force of ten clerks is constantly employed to keep the estab-
      lishment running in a smooth and efliicient manner. The rapid growth of the firm has
      been such as to cause the opening of another store in Redmond, in the conduct of which
      the brother Claude is active. Though separate establishments in every way they have
      a joint New York buyer, who keeps the stock up to the minute as to styles and makes
      it possible for the women of Bend to secure their clothes without going to the larger
      stores in Portland.

      In 1915 the marriage of Mr. Mannheimer to Miss Bianca Bloch, a native of New
      Orleans, Louisiana, took place. Her father was Jacob Bloch, a well known wholesale
      coffee importer. One son, Robert J., has been born to the union of Mr. and Mrs. Mann-
      heimer. In the club and social circles of Bend Mrs. Mannheimer takes an active and
      prominent part and though a great deal of her time is spent, in that manner she is
      accounted a model housewife and mother.

      Since age conferred upon him the right of franchise Mr. Mannheimer has been a
      stanch supporter of the republican party and though he has been frequently importuned
      he declines all political preferment. Fraternally he is a Mason, Odd Fellow and Elk and
      in civic affairs he takes a prominent part as a member of the Bend Commercial Club.
      Mr. Mannheimer's business has not only contributed to his individual success but has
      also been an active factor in the development of Bend and the state. His interests are
      thoroughly identified with those of the community and at all times he is ready to lend
      his aid and cooperation to any movement calculated to benefit this section of the country
      or advance its wonderful development.
