DescriptionJersey Homesteads was established in the 1930s as an agro-industrial cooperative community. It was established specifically for urban, Jewish garment workers, many of whom had emigrated from Europe. This three-page memo lists the appointed Co-op Agents, their occupations, and work addresses. Milton Deutch, Erwin Schmidt, H.L. Rege, Ben 'The Tailor' Verosi, C. Kolodinsky, A. Possetti, and I. Baskin were selected as the Co-op Agents. Some were chosen because of their connections to local immigrant groups. After the failure of the factory's first season, community leaders attempted to distribute goods through local cooperatives. The memo states that each agent will supply goods to an assigned cooperative group in Jersey Homesteads, and customers will receive a ten percent discount on retail sales.
