NEW YORK 1930 National Bellas Hess Company Inc Stock Certificate

Description

Dated 6/9/1930.
The company was incorporated under the laws New York in 1927.
The company was one of the top 5 general merchandise catalog companies in the 20th century.
The company was founded in the late 1800s as National Cloak & Suit and renamed National Bellas Hess around 1910, as folklore has it. It was located between Washington, Morton and Barrow streets in New York’s Greenwich Village. “We have no agents or branch stores,” it said in its 1920-21 fall-winter catalog. “We sell only direct from this catalog and anyone claiming to represent us is an imposter.” But what a catalog it was. The whole book was illustrated and included many color pages. There was no photography.
The company was also involved in a famous Supreme Court case involving a states ability to collect sales and use taxes.
