After immigrating to the U.S. from Hungary in the 1920's and with not a dollar in his pocket, Herman Brody bought an existing furniture store in McDonald, PA in 1931 (negotiating a promissory note with the seller). In 1934 he and his brother Leo opened a Brody's store in Canonsburg which Leo managed until 1947. At that time, Herman's twin sons Herb and Sid entered the business.
In 1951, Sid opened his own store in Steubenville, Ohio while Herb continued to manage the Canonsburg store. During that time, Brody's wasn't just a furniture store but more like a department store, carrying everything from furniture to toys to snow shovels!
