HILLEL TARNOPOLSKY

was a produce salesman who immigrated to the United States with his four children and wife in 1905 aboard the ship Astoria, which departed from Glasgow. The ship left Glasgow on January 20, 1906 and arrived in New York on January 30, 1906. His final destination was to see his Uncle, A. Berman, who lived at 404 N. 4th Street in Philadelphia, PA. He eventually moved to Gibson Street in Philadelphia, a very rural place at the time. The house he lived in did not even have an address on it, very unusual for that period of time. He also took in his mother-in-law, Sarah Hall, aged 63, to live with them.
Helel had his four children with him: Taube Tarnapolsky, Morshe Tarnapolsky, Mariem Tarnapolsky and Luba Tarnapolsky. Helel had only $100.00 on him when he came over to the United States. Helel was married in Russia and his first wife's name was Rachel. Rachel died sometime in the 1910's and he then married Anna Kaplan and had additional children with her.
His first son with Anna Kaplan was Leon Paul. Leon can remember Harry going to pick up produce in the early morning, many times around 1:00 a.m to go to sell in the city. He had a number of fruit stands in the city and often sold his produce up and down the streets of Philadelphia.
In 1920, Harry and his family lived on 7724 Brewster Street in Philadelphia. Also living with Harry at the time were his step-children, Herbert Greenfeld, Evelyn Greenfeld and Margaret Greenfeld. Harry died around 1929 of cancer. Leon contributes much of his upbringing to Max Paul, who owned an auto body shop in the University City at the time. Leon spent much time in the shop learning the trade.

Leon went into the war in 1941, being one of the first to go overseas. When Leon arrived back in the States he was fortunate enough to study painting techniques used by some progressive auto body shops in California. He improved on the techniques he learned and applied them in the Philadelphia area and opened franchise called Paintarama, the forefather of the current Maaco Auto paint shops.
