Description
A canny businessman and idealistic philanthropist, David Lubin and his brother-in-law Harris Weinstock made Weinstock-Lubin the Sacramento area’s best-known and most popular mercantile establishment for over a century. By the time of his death in Europe from the Spanish influenza in late 1918, Lubin had become a citizen of the world and was revered as a visionary in the field of international farming and world agriculture. In 1925 a school bearing his name operated at the corner of 37th and K Streets with a graduating class of 19. By April of 1927 the school also included a junior high school with an enrollment of 314 students and fourteen teachers. The students published a newspaper entitled “Coverall” and the school yearbook “High Lights,” a unique combination of mimeographed text on good stock interspersed with photographic pages on coated paper, was published until 1933. David Lubin Elementary School at 3535 M Street is still a presence in Sacramento, serving up lessons to over 500 students annually.
