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.

20639New York: Voluntary Parenthood League. Softcover. Very good. Undated ca. 1920. 4 pp ca. 6 x 8 inches self wrappers. Some old creasing general handling wear; very good. Social reformer Mary Ware Dennett 1872-1947 founded the Voluntary Parenthood League in 1919. The organization's main goal was to change the Comstock Laws so information about birth control would not be deemed obscene and could legally be distributed by mail. In this pamphlet Dennett argues that just as humans eat for pleasure as well as from necessity and just as they chose stylish clothes rather than the simplest thing that will keep them warm so there are "similar emotional mental moral and spiritual values to be derived from this function sexual relations." Getting "the Birth Control question straightened out" she argues "is the first imperative step. It will open the way for all the rest. And presently it will be as natural to apply science and art to sex relations as it is now to the matters of food clothes and shelter." Voluntary Parenthood League paperback books
