Later in the 20th century the company would obtain the first major contract to sell Disney character merchandise. According to this book -- the only published history of this successful company - George Borgfeldt "conceived of the idea" of being able to offer Americans merchants easier access to a variety of foreign goods by "assembling in New York samples of the products of the best factories of Europe manufacturing dolls toys and kindred articles and of booking import orders through the display of these samples." His first location at 83 Leonard Street in New York City had 6.750 square feet of display space in which 100000 items were available for inspection by wholesale buyers. The text goes on to describe the evolution of this sales model and the company's subsequent growth. Separate short sections summarize the history of each of the different sales departments. Geo.
