Finding some info about Epstein Novelty

After World War I druggist M. Diugasch, who dealt in “chemicals, colors and dyestuffs,” would be here for several years, sharing the first floor space with the Epstein Novelty Company. Epstein manufactured canes, among other wholesale items.

It also looks like the owner of Epstein Novelty got into some trouble from tax evasion in the 1950s.

Wait, can we go back to Mr. Epstein's alleged legal troubles?

As I read this, the defendant/petitioner/appellant was a guy called William B. Stayback--not Epstein. Mr. Stayback was convicted for filing false tax returns for his business, which apparently functioned under a multitude of different names; none of which were called Epstein Novelty Co.

It looks like Stayback did business with Epstein; perhaps he supplied them with raw materials for the latter's production needs. It was income from these sales to Epstein (and others) that this Stayback fellow failed to report as income; and, apparently, went to prison for....

I just want to defend my man Epstein from any further libel by this thread, is all

He's still guilty of being a tightwad. Greg has proven that beyond a reasonable doubt.
