Max Rosenstock "the village blacksmith" claims the title of "America's strongman" in a demon-stration in Hollenbeck Park, here.

To prove his claim he made an effort to lift thirty Los Angeles Policemen standing on a platform; let police twist an 1-1/4th inch steel rod around him while he hold it in his teeth; pulled ten coppers; and let fifty officers walk over a bridge resting on him while he lay on a bed of nails.  He is 5ft. 5ins. tall weighs 162 pounds and is from the New York East Side.

Los Angeles, the first Jewish aviator in this country, Max Rosenstock, from New York East Side, the strongest man in the world, recently graduated from the Culver City Air Port.  He finds his tremendous strength unnecessary in actual flying, but he is a handy man to have on the ground for moving large ships and holding planes back when the motors are being tested in full speed by his strength, as the above picture shows 3-5-29
