J.M. Citron

I can't remember the date that Mr. Citron died, I do remember he was well into his late 80's, perhaps 90 when he died. See this mention from HOUR Detroit magazine from a couple of years ago...the original Suffrin Store was actually across the street and across the alley from Citron's [[where the new addition of the Book Cadillac sits, actually behind the original Detroit Edison building which was next to the Book Cadillac on the Washington Blvd. frontage.) The other Washington Blvd. gentlemens store, S. L. Bird and Son's was the first to close [[late 1950's) and the surviving son, Charlie Bird ended up being the longtime general manager of Jacobson's in Dearborn until the late 1970's. He retired from Jakes and lived in Dearborn until he died, probably 10 years ago, give or take.
