* In an April 28, 1855 letter to Samuel L.M. Barlow, Judah Benjamin, who was then a U.S. senator from Louisiana, wrote about the “poor untaught savages of New York” who did not know how to make coffee.

* These men remain well known in New Orleans coffee in the twenty-first century. Allan Colley and Tommy Westfeldt both remembered that the Arons and Burkenroads were “fine gentlemen.” Reilly’s President Jim McCarty said, “J. Aron and William Reily were like this [with two fingers crossed]” and added, “He was the sharpest businessman I’ve ever known in my life.” Additionally, William Ukers stated in his obituary for Aron, “Aron was the first in New Orleans to issue coffee market forecasts, which were uncanny in their exactness. His opinion was eagerly awaited by the entire industry.”

† Published at the 100th birthday of the A.B. Freeman School of Business at Tulane University.

* Porch also played an important role gaining materials shipped through New Orleans for the construction of the Panama Canal, opening traffic via that route for the city.
