His paternal grandparents, David and Ann Zaban, settled in Atlanta with their eight children in 1895. David Zaban had a furniture store in Atlanta. Erwin’s maternal grandparents, Max and Rachel Feidelson started out in New York in 1908, and later settled in Savannah, Georgia, where they owned a grocery store. Sara Feidelson, Erwin’s mother, was next to the youngest of the six children. In the mid-1920s, Erwin’s father, Mandle Zaban, opened a furniture store in Miami, Florida, where he was quite successful until a hurricane in 1926 wiped everything out. He then became a salesman for the Puritan Chemical Company. In 1937, he went into business for himself and founded Zep Manufacturing, which made cleaning and sanitation supplies. Zep Manufacturing was named for its three founding partners: Mandle Zaban, Erwin’s father; Billy Eplan; and Samuel Powell. Billy Eplan died within a year, and Samuel Powell moved to Augusta to work in another family chemical business. Erwin dropped out of high school and began to work full-time at Zep Manufacturing. After his father retired in about 1948, Erwin took charge of the business, which experienced its first growth spurt in 1952 when he sold a stake in the business to the employees. Zep merged with National Linen Services in 1962. National Linen Services continued to grow through acquisitions and in 1962 became National Service Industries, with earnings of more than $2.5 billion per year, during which time Erwin rose to become CEO of the entire company. Erwin married Doris Reisman when he was 20 and they had three daughters: Laura Dinerman, Carol Cooper and Sara Franco. After his divorce from Doris he married Judy Oliver. Erwin became involved in the Jewish community in the mid-1950s when he headed a fundraising campaign for the Atlanta Jewish Federation with Milton Weinstein. He continued to be involved in philanthropy in the Jewish community with his generous donations of time and money to the Atlanta Jewish Community Center, Temple Night Shelter (now the Zaban Couples Center) and the Zaban Tower and other projects. Erwin died in 2010 at the age of 89.\u003c/p\u003e (bioghist)","\u003cp\u003eErwin describes his family background (both the Zabans and Feidelsons) and their arrival in the United States. He discusses how his father, Mandle Zaban, founded Zep Manufacturing, which made cleaning and sanitation supplies. He offers a detailed inside look at Zep’s merger with National Linen Services, and NLS’s subsequent growth through acquisitions including Atlantic Envelope Company, Selig Chemical Industries, Lithonia Lighting and others. In 1962 National Linen Industries became National Service Industries, with earnings of more than $2.5 billion per year. He talked about the benefits of having a good Board of Directors, which he asserts added to the company’s success. Erwin spoke of the many friends he made through his personal, business and community service including Milton Weinstein, Meyer Balser, M. William Breman, Sidney Feldman, David Goldwasser, Bernie Marcus, Max Kuniansky, Barney Medintz, Abe Goldstein, Ben Massell, Sam Massell, Maynard Jackson, and Steve Selig. Erwin briefly touches on the civil rights years, Charlie Lebedin’s “Leb’s restaurant” and its integration and how Zep had already hired Black workers and had prominent Black leaders on their board. Erwin attributes his success to his family and to those he met along the way who helped guide his efforts. Erwin modestly describes how he came to donate the funds for various facilities, from the Temple Night Shelter (now the Zaban Couples Shelter) renovation to building the Zaban Tower. He proudly discusses how involved his daughters continue to be in the Jewish community. Erwin also discusses Jewish life in Atlanta in the Fifties and Sixties, including the restaurants and clubs as well as the religious community. He details the divisions between German and Russian Jews in the synagogues and social life. He also discusses the growth and development of Atlanta.

Two weeks after Israel became a state, the Israel Defense Forces were created to succeed Haganah.  All other paramilitary organizations were outlawed.
