Minneapolis, Minnesota
30 September 1934
Sports fans of Minneapolis, especially wreslting enthuslasts, perhaps never heard of a wresling promoter named Al Haft of Columbus, yet he is one of the most successful in the bussiness.
Haft cannot compete for important matches with such noted promoters as Jack Curley of New York, Paul Bowser of Boston, Tom Packs of St. Louis, Lou Daro of Los Angeles, Al Schuler of San Francisco and Tony Stecher of Minneapolis, but he has amassed a comfortable fortune by staging matches in all of the largest cities of Ohio, especially in Columbus, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Dayton, Toledo, Akron and Lima where his shows draw well.
Columbus sports writers tell me Haft is worth around $250,000 and owns one of the finest homes in this city.
