Leo Adler

Leo Adler Leo was born in Baker City, Oregon, the youngest of three Adler children, in June of 1895. By age 20 he had created a major magazine reshipping business which ultimately employed a staff of 30 members, most of whom dedicated over 25 years of service to Leo. He retired at age 77 after making history in the magazine business by developing a seven-state empire with 2,000 outlets and selling more than 3 million magazines annually.  He died in 1993.

Leo was a self-made millionaire with a keen mind and an amazingly modest standard of living. He never married, but possessed a deep caring for people. Throughout his lifetime he used his money to help those less fortunate and to support community services.  Leo's active civic involvement and his foundation's ongoing support of the Parkway project leaves a legacy in the beautiful Leo Adler Memorial Parkway.
