The Lourie Dynasty: Pinsk Industrialists and Financiers.

The Lourie families are famous Pinsk industrialists and financiers. The history of this family can be traced to the nineteenth century, when Khaya Levina from a wealthy Pinsk family of forest product merchants married a Lourie a Jew from Mogilev. The merging of the resources of the two families, the business acumen of Khaya Lourie, her children and grandchildren allowed the development of a number of economic projects The "Lourie Brothers and Co. Trading House" was a business created in Pinsk in the 19th century. Gregory Lourie’s chemical factory was founded in 1886, where Khaim Weizman worked for some time. Samuel and Idel Lourie operated their own bank offices. The small Lourie house remains in Pinsk, on the corner of the present Kirov and Shubitidze streets, where Khaim Weizman was living, and laboring as the tutor for the wealthy and influential Lourie family of industrialists.

On Chuklaya Street (formerly Waterworks) is another old company - the former Lourie plywood factory. Its history began in 1880 as a factory for making nails and shoe studs. Leopold Lourie an engineer, and Alexander Lourie having a Doctor of Philosophy from Heidelberg University, took over the operation of the nail factory in the 1890s and established a new company, "The Association of L. and Al. Lourie in Pinsk".  With the transition into their hands a new era began in the development and organization of production at the plant. They replaced the old equipment, and built new factory buildings. Now the Pinsk factory could produce products and plywood sheets unusual for that time with subsequent drying, sawing, painting, grinding, polishing, and the manufacture of paper bags. Pinsk alder planks, began to be widely used for packaging goods for various purposes, and in 1903 the factory started to produce a new product of glued together layers, invented by Alexander Lourie branded it "Tobal", which is now known as plywood and is in demand both in Russia and abroad. Until now, this kind of construction materials we call the "plywood". It made a splash, and a complete revolution in the production of furniture, construction materials, decoration for houses, and in many others. In the field of plywood manufacture Lourie held a monopoly position in the vast Russian Empire. In 1880 on the base of this nail factory in Pinsk, the brothers Leopold and Alexander Lourie, started what by 1898 became the largest factory for the production of plywood.

After finishing his education, Gregory returned to Pinsk, and opened a small chemical factory, in the chemical laboratory of which Khaim Weizman later, as a student from 1895-1896 earning himself the means to continue his studies abroad. G. Lourie tried to organize the work of the enterprise in accordance with best practices. So, it was one of the first to introduce the 8 - hour workday to his factory for the production of vegetable oil, so that for 24 hours three shifts of workers worked. A lot of money and attention was paid to the development of Jewish education andculture in the city. He provided financial support for the "Exemplary Hedera", the city's first Jewish club, a library and reading room. The factory manufactured baking soda, superphosphate, paint (in 1889, 20,500 pounds worth 56 thousand. Rubles). The factory was on Kupecheskoi street.</p> <p>G. Lourie was one of the supporters of the movement Khovevei Zion and as a delegate of the movement participated in the First Zionist Congress. When he returned to Pinsk, he organized a Zionist circle and became its chairman.</p> <p>At the Second Congress, Gregory Lourie took part in the drafting of a resolution calling for the immediate establishment of a Colonial Bank. As is known, he went into the Banking Committee, elected at the congress, and started active work on its organization both abroad and at home, in Pinsk. It is known that he organized charity events, distributed in the city subscription lists for collection of donations by the committee, "Society for the welfare of Jewish farmersand craftsmen in Syria and Palestine”, involving more Jews in Zionist work.</p> <p>Before the 3rd Congress, at the insistence of T. Gertslya, Lourie he accepted the post of chairman of the bankin London established as custodian of the Pinsk Jewish Colonial Bank, which became the center for the circulation of shares.</p> <p>Archival documents give information about that the formal establishment of the Jewish Colonial Bank began in Pinsk in 1899. So, from the report of the Pinsk police chief we become aware that on, "February 23 the chairman of the circle of Zionist merchant, Grigory Aronovich Lourie, and members of the Palestinian society, existing in Odessa, Moses Isaevich Eliasberg made a power of attorney with the notary Khizhnyakov for Dr. Moses Gaster a doctor of theology, who lives in London, and Dr. Auxerre Kokesh, a lawyer, who lives in Vienna, for the establishment in England under local law, the Jewish Joint Stock Colonial Bank's operations in Syria and Palestine with capital of 2 million pounds. The Power of attorney committed both by the merchants Lourie and Eliasberg does not mention the conditions in the circle of Zionists as does the power of attorney sent in finished form in English with translation into Russian, attested to by the Russian Consul in London . "</p> <p>After returning from the Congress, Mr. Lourie was active in the sale of shares in the Jewish bank, and the government paid close attention.</p> <p>In October 1903 the Minsk governor required a Pinsk police investigation into the sale of shares from the banking offices of G. Lourie and he was forced to sign a cease and desist order regarding his active Zionist work. But Gregory Lourie did not stop these activities rather he represented the Zionists of Pinsk at the 7th Congress in August 1905 and attended the 11th Congress, held in 1913.</p> <p>The son of Gregory Lourie, Isaac G. Lourie was born in August 1890 in Pinsk, Minsk province and received his primary education at home, likeall the children of wealthy Jewish families. He then went to an actual Pinsk school, where he studied under Khaim Weizmann, and all his brothers from the family clan (Levin Lourie-Eliasberg) and by 17 years he successfully completed it. In the years 1910-1911 the Russian-language newspaper "Pinsk sheet” began to operate in the city, with Isaac as one of the three editors. That is when he took his first steps into journalism, and showed his undoubted ability as a publicist.</p> <p>Related items</p> <p>• House Lourie (Kirova, 21)</p> <p>• The richest people of Pinska.1913</p>
