Bankers Securities Corporation

BSC bought control of Lit Brothers department store, then subsequently sold it to City Stores Company. On December 1, 1931, City Stores Company could no longer meet its financial obligation to BSC and Greenfield took control of City Stores. Greenfield was now a retail magnate.

BSC bought other stores outside the City Stores umbrella including: N. Snellenburg & Company; Bonwit Teller & Company; Tiffany & Co.; and Loft Candy Corporation.^[1] The Greenfield BSC empire also included a number of Philadelphia based hotels including the Bellevue-Stratford, Benjamin Franklin, Sylvania, Adelphia, Essex, John Bartram and the Ritz-Carlton in Philadelphia and Atlantic City, New Jersey.

Greenfield resigned as chairman of BSC in March 1959, and was succeeded by Gustave G. Amsterdam.^[2]
