In 1905 Rubine (Ruby) Levine arrived in America! At age 15 he worked in a jewelry factory in NYC until World War I. When the Army honorably released him of his duty, his next journey was to Binghamton, NY. He established the Ruby Jewelry Co. His success resulted from his integrity and humanity as he diligently went door to door selling anything from wedding rings and religious items to eye glasses.With fluency in 8 languages, he catered to immigrant shoe workers employed by Endicott Johnson. Herbert Levine, the second son of Rubine, began his career working in his father's store and then for Kay Jewelers in Rochester, NY.
