Oskar löb strauß


Oskar löb strauß
AKA levi strauss.
Levi is his clamour name.
He was born 26 januari 1829 in buttenheim.
In 1847 he emigrated with two sisters and his mother to the US.
At first in new york.
in 1853 he became amrican citizen.
That same year he moved to Sanfancisco and started his own trade company.
A few years later Löb and Jacob Davis (a tailor from reno) developed the rived.
The rest is history!!

Me myself am a employee of The original Levi's Store sinds 1997.
So mr Oskar Löb strauß is like a godfather to me.
