The Maizels had the best flour from Pakruojis and surroundings, as was told.
In Pakruojis the brothers Maizel were called the rich industrialists.

The Maizel brothers  founded a library destined for books on all kinds of subjects related to Jewry. They even founded a publishing house called Spaustare.
There was a fire in Pakruojis  and the two houses of the Maizels at Dariaus ir Gireno gatve,  nr. 26 and 27,  burned down. The fire spread to the haystack of the neighbours and finally the fire destroyed a part of the wooden houses from  the street. The house of the Maizels was rebuilt.  In 1935, the house is still owned by the Maizel family, but the house was used as a pharmacy and the two brothers were there, now and then. ( they lived in the house next to the mill, as I told you, already.). Two pharmacists worked in the pharmacy and, also,  the Jewish Brilaite sisters who didn’t live in Pakruojis. The older Biraite- sister was dating  Yakov ( Yankel) Epstein from Pakruojis. He was related to Kolitzman.
