When and how did your business get started?

Rudi & Ruth Kluger, began Kluger Furs in the 1950's out of their home in Homewood. They started with custom designs for friends; Rudi was the furrier and Ruth the finisher, or seamstress. 

They worked together, side by side, until Rudi's death in 1973. Then Ruth continued the business in her home until the move to Flossmoor Commons in 1989. Her son, Larry, and his wife, Susan, joined her in establishing a full-service fur salon offering on-site summer storage, cleaning, glazing, repairs & restyles. After instilling in her staff the importance of customer service and quality merchandise, Ruth retired and still resides in Homewood today.
