Jerome Seder, one of Isaac Seder’s four sons, had begun working in the family business at the age of seventeen as a stock boy in the silk department. He eventually became chief assistant to Bennie Neiman and was named president by the board of directors, after Neiman’s death in 1949. Jerome Seder was involved in Pittsburgh's Jewish community. He was vice president of Montefiore Hospital, a life trustee of the Jewish Home for the Aged, and a member of the administrative committee of the University of Pittsburgh's Retail Training Bureau.
