Pierson invested $100,000 in the first Black-owned and -operated factory in Cleveland, American Enterprises, which occupied a longtime garment factory at 1250 Ontario Street two blocks north of Public Square. The building is among those on the left beyond the Standard Building (the tall building). In this photo, a parade of new Army inductees marches to the Cleveland Union Terminal in 1942. The induction center was located in a portion of the same building that Pierson and his syndicate bought the next year for the factory. | Date: 1942 | Source: Cleveland Public Library, Photograph CollectionDownload Original File
