The City by the Bay was aglow with gold galore due to the famous rush of 1849 when Leopold Loupe and Kalman Haas set their sights on its lustrous streets. Loupe, a former peddler himself, partnered with Haas and the two German natives began a general–store variety of business, Loupe & Haas. Together, they supplied groceries on the corner of Davis and California streets. In 1865, love beckoned Loupe to return to Europe where he married and remained.ver time, Loupe & Haas became a family affair for Kalman when his brothers Charles and Samuel, and cousins Jacob, Samuel, Abe, and William integrated. The firm became Haas Brothers Wholesale Groceries. This burgeoning success was renowned in the wholesale dry goods business and assisted in stabilizing the financial market of California during its 1875 panic. Then, disaster struck with the great San Francisco earthquake of 1906, leaving Haas Brothers in temporarily ruin. However, this would only prove to be a minor setback for the strong–willed, resourceful family. The company soon was thriving again, and on its road to becoming an even more prominent establishment.
