| Ishmael Nussbaum founded a tailor supply shop in New York and worked hard to grow it into a national company. As his two sons, Peter and Andrew, grew older and graduated from college; he brought them into the business where they all flourished. Finally at age 95, Ishmael passed from this world and his sons called a meeting of all the employees. They thanked the employees for their hard work, praised their father's guidance and then announced the change they planned for the firm. Not much was to change except the name, Nussbaum and Sons. Peter and Andrew planned to Anglicize the firm's name and were changing their names to Nuss. So the new firm would be known as Nuss Brothers. The receptionist at this point, arose and announced she was quitting. The brothers tried to talk her out of it as she had worked so long at the firm for their father and certainly this little name change wouldn't affect her that much. She responded, "You aren't the one who will have to answer the phone, 'Nuss Brothers.... which one do you want to talk to? P. Nuss or A. Nuss?'" |
