The “Point Loma” brand was a symbol of quality to San Diego area residents and many others who purchased their groceries through the Klauber Wangenheim Company. Beginning in 1869 as Steiner and Klauber, the firm grew to become one of the most successful of its kind in the Southwest. This achievement was primarily due to the legacy of sound leadership left by the founders of the company: Abraham Klauber and other Klauber family members, Samuel Steiner, Simon Levi and Julius Wangenheim. Their story, together with that of the business they created, starts on page 1 of this issue.
