    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Frances Kuryla relates the immigration of her father, Michael Gallo and her uncle Nichola Gallo from Italy.  Kuryla&#039;s father and uncle believed that they would have a better opportunity to practice their trade as stonecutter, in the United States.  Nichola Gallo arrived in 1887 and started as a stone cutter.  He left this profession to charter the first Italian bank and was involved in assisting  immigrants with his steamship travel agency and money exchange program.  On his retirement he closed the bank.  Kuryla&#039;s father immigrated later  (1900) and also worked as a stonecutter.  He then opened a wholesale grocery business and had his own line of food under the Gallo label.  He later took over the steamship agency and money exchange program from his brother, Nichola.  The two brothers often assisted  Italian immigrants with financial and personal issues.]]></dcterms:description>

The family initially settled in the lower East Side of New York City.

He then went to an agriculture school and upon graduating went to work on a farm for a short period of time.  He then settled in Syracuse, NY where he went to work for his brother as a jewelry salesman. Being able to several languages was advantageous in his sales. During World War I he entered the armed services and was wounded.  As a result he received a Purple Heart.  Upon returning home he settled in the Triple Cities where he became a successful jewelry salesman because he spoke several languages.  He later married and opened a jewelry business in Endicott, NY.  Levine briefly talks about his mother&#039;s family.  Levine also discusses his own life.  He attended Syracuse University and after graduation went to work for Kay Jewelers until he was drafted during the Korean War.   After the war ended he went to work at his father&#039;s jewelry business, Ruby and Sons,  which he continued to operate after his father&#039;s death. He later sold his interest in the store to his brother and then purchased Van Cott&#039;s.
