The 1890s-founded Halle & Stieglitz brokerage, was described in 1970 as having "an extensive brokerage and underwriting business ... switched from a partnership to a corporation."[1] About three years later they absorbed another brokerage and became Halle & Stieglitz, Filor Bullard Inc.[2]
The merger more than doubled their count of domestic offices, which went from eight[1] to eighteen,[2] "and foreign offices in Paris and Lugano, Switzerland."[3]
The New York Times reported on the growth of the firm, as it added partners.[4][5]
Corporation
When the firm became a corporation in 1970,[1] it named Stanley J. Halle,[6] a son of the firm's co-founder Jacques S. Halle, as honorary chairman of the board. The son had joined the firm decades prior, becoming "a general partner in 1915 and senior partner in 1950."[7]
Timing
Stanley Halle became a general partner a year before his father died,[8] and was appointed honorary chairman 2 years before he died.[7]
