NotesSubject Note: The Moses Fox Club was created in 1939 by Beatrice Fox Auerbach, president of G. Fox & Co., in honor of her father, Moses Fox. Employees who had worked at G. Fox & Co. for 25 years or more were invited to join the Moses Fox Club. Every subsequent year, new members who had reached 25 years of employment with the company were inducted into the Club at the annual Moses Fox Club dinner and were given a pin engraved with their initials and the year they began their employment with the company.
