The Samuels Famify started in business in 1932 when Jacob Samuels opened a used car lot at 2901 Springfield Ave., in the Vauxhail section of Union.

All went well until World War II when business conditions forced them to close. At this point "POP" Samuels retired. The 3 boys re-opened the business in 1946 and in 1951 added a new car showroom and automotive service facility. An auto body and paint shop (the largest in Union was added in 1952. The Samuels boys became the largest Studebaker-Packard Sales & Service Showroom on the Eastern seaboard.
