By TERESA SMITH, Times-Union Staff Writer-

Howard Levin, president of Myer Levin and Sons Inc., sold his business to Michael Lewis, owner of Lewis Salvage Corp. July 6, according to a Levin news release.

The Levin business is one of the seven oldest companies in Kosciusko County. It served the community for more than 90 years.

Levin is retiring. The salvage yard, at the corner of U.S. 30 and Ind. 15N, is no longer open.

In 1914, the scrap iron and steel processing business was located on the east side of North Detroit Street, north of Fort Wayne Street.

When a fire destroyed the building, the yard was moved to the west side of Detroit Street at the Center Lake canal.

Myer and Rosa Levin donated a part of their property to Warsaw to establish public tennis courts.

After World War II, Howard Levin joined his father's business. In 1980, the business moved to its present location.

In 1986 the Center Lake property was converted into the Warsaw Biblical Gardens. [[In-content Ad]]
