- History / Biographical
- Arthur Philipp was born in Filehne, Germany, April 25, 1890 and died in Montreal, Canada, July 19, 1970. In 1918, he married Charlotte Maass in Berlin, Germany. Arthur and Charlotte left Germany in the winter of 1939 with their two sons; Horace (b. 1928 - d. 2003) and Rudolf (Rudy) (b. 1933). Arthur Philipp had visited North America some time during the 1930's. He decided it was time to leave Germany after he was detained by German authorities in his town after leaving a B’nai B’rith meeting. Arthur’s sister, Hildegard (Hilda) Philipp, also travelled with the Phillip family and subsequently worked in the family business. They arrived in Halifax aboard the Duchess of Bedford on March 11, 1939. The family made their home in Montreal where Horace R. Cohen of Westmount assisted their entry into Canada. Arthur established himself in the clothing manufacturing business, as he had previous retail experience working in a haberdashery in Schneidemuhl, Germany. His business, Philip Manufacturing Company was located at 1162 St. Catherine Street East and specialized in lingerie. Customers included Simpson Sears and Eaton’s. Their trademark was Phimaco. Rudy, the younger son eventually went to work in the family's clothing business. Horace Philipp obtained a Bachelor of Science degree from Sir George Williams University and was employed as a paint chemist with Sherwin Williams Company of Canada. Horace had always wanted to be a chemist and was inspired to pursue this career by a relative in the United States who was a chemist. Horace's second marriage was to an Ottawa divorcee, Lilyan Tavel. He moved to Ottawa and worked for the Department of National Defence and Department of Supply and Services.
