There is little information available about Ruth Aarons or Aarons Enterprises. Historical information is based on information
found in the collection. It appears Ruth Aarons was a personal manager in the entertainment industry who may have formed the
company Aarons Enterprises; it is unknown when the company was founded or when it closed for business. During the 1970s Aarons
handled the personal management of entertainers such as George Chakiris, John McMartin, and Marcia Wallace. It is believed
that David Cassidy was also a client.
