Swainsboro merchants include Morris Subotnick, L. Rosenberg, and Joe Ehrlich. I've heard the name of Joe Ehrlich. I suppose he is the father of Bennie, Leon and I think there was a daughter who lived in Savannah. > I don't recall Morris Subotnick, but I do remember Mr Herman Subotnick, and his brother Aaron. Maybe Morris was their father? The Subotnicks operated a dry goods store at the corner of Green St. and West Main, in the same block of buildings as Elliott's Dept Store.. Mr Herman was a patron of the short-lived Swainsboro Rebels baseball team, which played in the class D (I believe) Ogeechee League, just after WWII. As I recall on the center or right-field fence there was painted a big sign that read, "Hit this sign, win $5, Subotnick's". To me back then five dollars seemed a fortune, and I frequently wondered whether Mr Herman had had to pay up. If this kind of reminiscing is off topic, stop me before I ramble again!
