Elliot Cameron, chair of the Utah Pioneer Sesquicentennial ' Celebration Coordinating Council j Frederick and Samuel Auerbach were successful businessmen in Utah during the 1800s and were probably the most successful of the early Jewish merchants. Both were bom in Prussia; Frederick in 1836, and Samuel in 1847. Early in their lives, the two brothers along with the youngest, Theodore, left Europe and sailed to the eastern seaboard of America. There they stayed long enough to quickly leam English and the customs of their new adopted country before setting out for California. After a short, and unsuccessful stint as they set up shops in California and Nevada. In one of their last ventures in those areas, the Auerbachs came deeply into debt. Seeking a way to recoup their considerable financial losses, they set their sights on the Utah Territory. In 1859, Samuel freighted a load of goods from California and traded at Camp Floyd. Frederick came later to Salt Lake with another wagon load of merchandise. He then called upon Brigham Young and was kindly received and given assistance in securing a site for the store.
