largest creditors at the time Mr. Bliss
of the firm of Morton, Bliss and Com
pany. As soon as Mr. Straus had in
troduced himself Mr. Bliss said: ‘Well,
Mr. Straus, how much do you want to
settle for?’
Dollar for dollar,’ was the South
ern merchant’s terse reply. ‘Just
exactly what I owe you’.”
After all his debts had thus been
paid he had a small fund left with
which once more to enter the busi
ness arena. With his eldest son he
established the firm L. Straus & Son,
importers of glassware and crockery.
The business prospered from the start,
and soon the other sons, Nathan and
Oscar, were drawn into the firm, which
eventually became L. Straus & Sons.
When R. H. Macy, the head of R. H.
Macy & Co., died in 1874 the Straus
firm acquired an interest in that con
