Harry Bloom was born in Paris,France on April 2, 1888 and came to the US with his parents George and Bertha in 1892. He and his family appear in the 1910 Census. His father George was a jewelry manufacturer. The business was probably started by his father. They lived in London for a time before coming to the US. Younger siblings were born in Washington D.C. , and the youngest was born in New York. They do appear in the 1900 Census in Omaha, Nebraska. The 1910 Census is the first one showing the family in California.
They lived at 364 W. 41st St, Los Angeles, according to Harry's WWI Draft card. That house, built in 1906, is still there. On Harry's WWII draft card, the address is 361 S. Detroit ST. That property is a brick apartment building which was built in 1928 and is also still there.
