Summary
| Description |
English: In 1912, prominent civic, financial and social leaders in San Francisco – the Hellman, Crocker, and Fleishhacker families were represented – founded the San Francisco Remedial Loan Association based on the model of the Provident Loan Society of New York. The organization changed its name to the San Francisco Provident Loan Association, and is still located in its original historic landmark building – also based on the New York society's building – at 932 Mission Street in the South of Market (SoMa) neighborhood of the city.
Unlike the New York society, the San Francisco association is family-owned and operated. The business was bought by Frank Rusalem in 1954 and sold to Robert Chait in 1965. Since then, three generations of the Chait family have run the concern. In 2012, 66 Mint, an estate-jewelry business, was added, and a "Silicon Valley Diamond and Jewelry Buyers" location in Menlo Park, California was opened.(Sources: "Our History" San Francisco Provident Loan Association website and Brawn, Tony (July 17, 2015) "66 Mint: a family legacy in S.F., and now Silicon Valley" San Francisco Chronicle) |
