Grocery Boots Shoes Blanket....In the early 1860s, the four Olcovich brothers, Hyman, Joseph, Herman and Benjamin immigrated to Carson City from Prussia. Within three years, the brothers had started the Olcovich Brothers Store, a dry goods business, on the corner of Fourth and Carson streets. The Olcovich family soon became one of the most prominent Jewish families in Carson City. Within a few years, the brothers were so successful that they owned several other businesses including the Sazarac Saloon, a drug store, a jewelry store, a Chinese wash house. By 1872, the brothers had built a family home at 110 West Fourth, where all four resided for a time. Within the next few years, the brothers built homes of their own. From June 1889 to July 1891, Isaac and Selig Olcovich, sons of Hyman Olcovich, published The Sun, a semiweekly newspaper.
