One of his 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 cern. From then on the business rise of the Strauses became one of the best- known chapters in the development of New York during the last quarter of the nineteenth century. W hen the family moved to New \ork Nathan entered the Packard Bus iness College. He excelled as a student, graduating at the age of eighteen as the orator of his class. When, as a young man, he traveled as saksma: for L. Straus & Sons he left tl im pression everywhere of one prem - e _ ly mature, of a youth of direc >. proach who had inherited the business principles of his father. Win he became a partner, with his brother Isidor, in R. H. Macy’s, at the age < . twenty-six, he was theoretically ar practically equipped to take hold so intricate and gigantic an enterpri as one of the largest department store in the world. Nothing short of busi ness genius was manifested by tin Strauses in the development and ex tension of the Macy store. Yet no printed record testifies to the achieve ment of Nathan Straus, which un doubtedly ranks among the most bril liant commercial accomplishments in New York during the latter part of the nineteenth century.
