Background
"But the largest and most influential American Jewish banking house was Kuhn, Loeb & Co of New York. Founded by Abraham Kuhn and Solomon Loeb in 1867, the firm was later directed by Jacob Henry Schiff (1847-1920) who sided with E.H. Harriman in 1901 against J.Pierpont Morgan and James Jerome Hill in the battle for the Northern Pacific. Kuhn, Loeb & Company was related to the house of M.M. Warburg of Hamburg, Germany. The main partners of Kuhn, Loeb & Co were interrelated by marriage as was quite usual in Jewish American businesses at the time."
