Mr. Max Lichtenstein

Mr. Max Lichtenstein, one of the Partners, was born in the town of Memel, North Germany, in 1874, and is a son of the late Dr. Joseph Lichtenstein, of that place. He was educated for the medical profession in his native town, and subsequently pursued his studies at the Hospital and Medical College, Ekaterinoslav, South Russia. Desiring to see the world, he left Russia in 1893, and took an extended trip throughout the United States, returning a year later to his native land. Thence he travelled through Belgium for some months, and then left Antwerp for Australia, in the s.s. “Somerfield,” by which he landed at Port Adelaide early in 1895. After visiting Melbourne, Sydney, and Brisbane, Mr. Lichtenstein arrived almost at the end of his financial tether, so he determined to give New Zealand a trial, and came to Auckland in May of the same year, when he landed with a sum of only £5; a fact which proves that ability and energy are equal in importance to capital itself. The portrait here given is a good likeness of Mr. Lichtenstein.
