Businessman. A co-founder of Marks and Spencer merchandizing chain, he was born in Slonim, Russia and came as a penniless refugee from the anti-Semitic pogroms there to Stockton-on-Tees in 1881. Starting with a peddler’s tray he followed fairs and markets hawking his wares until 1884 when he was lent five pounds by Isaac Dewhirst that enabled him to set up a trestle stall in an open market at Leeds. Within ten years he was operating eight penny bazaars. He still used the wording he had on his peddler’s tray: "Don't Ask the Price - It's a Penny:" a marketing phrase that he kept for many years, originated to solve his language problem. He went into partnership in 1894 with Tom Spencer, who had been Dewhirst's cashier. With continued success he was living a happy family life in Manchester when he died suddenly of a heart attack on New Year's Eve. He had married Hannah Cohen in 1886 and his son Simon, later to become Lord Mark's of Broughton, fought successfully to keep the business in the family.

מייקל מרקס
' (באנגלית: .Michael Marks) היה יהודי-אנגלי ממוצא ליטאי, ממייסדי חברת מרקס אנד ספנסר.
ביוגרפיה מרקס נולד ביוני 1859 בעיר סלונים (באזור בלארוס כיום) למשפחה של יהודים-ליטאים. בסביבות שנת 1882 היגר לעיר לידס בממלכה המאוחדת. שם עבד בחברה בשם "ברן". בשנת 1884 הכיר מרקס את יצחק דיוחרסט, איש עסקים מקומי. מרקס החל לסחור עם דיוחרסט- מרקס קנה את הסחורה מהחברה של דיוחרסט ומכר אותה בעיירות הסמוכות. כך מרקס הצעיר הצליח לצבור את הונו הראשון ולפתוח מכולת בלידס. מרקס החליט לשכור מקום בבזאר מקורה בלידס. בבזאר זה כל סחורה עלתה פני. מרקס הרחיב את רשת הקיוסקים שלו בכל יורקשייר ולנקשייר.
"מרקס אנד ספנסר"
בשנת 1894 החליט מרקס להרחיב את העסק ולהשיג לעצמו שותף עסקי. לאחר תיווכו של יצחק דיוחרסט, הוצע למרקס את תומאס ספנסר. בגלל ניסיונו ובגלל יכולתו לקבוע את המחירים ישירות מהצרכן, הצליחו מרקס וספנסר לפתח רשת של חנויות בערים כמו מידלסברו, מנצ'סטר, בירמינגהם, ליברפול, בריסטול, שפילד, סנדרלנד וקארדיף.
מרקס המשיך לפתח את העסק עד מותו בגיל 48, ב-31 בדצמבר 1907 בסלפורד.
