Yep, this was par for the course. Jews knew where to
go and where not to
go for a job.

True in Canada as well. Pierre Berton when he was
editor of Maclean's Magazine in Toronto in the 50's
did an article on the corporate reluctance to hire
Jews.
He sent a researcher out with two resumes that were
exactly the same except of the name. In one case it
was a good Anglo-Saxon name, in the other an obviously
Jewish one.
The resume with the Jewish name didn't get responses,
while the other was inundated with job offers.
In the mid-60's I worked at a large Canadian financial
institution in Montreal. One of the internal auditors
was a Jewish guy who told me how proud his mother was
because he had been hired by an Anglo Protestant
corporation. Jews in those days tended to work for
Jewish firms. There were Jewish accountants,
engineers not to mention lawyers. That's died out in
the last 30 years of so. There's much more mixing in
the professions.
Cheers,
Lech
