Rothschild Bros. listed from 1874-1921. This is a glass signed by master etcher George Truog. The 1875 directory shows the company to comprise Edward L. Rothschild, Henry Rothschild, and Samuel Rothschild. Samuel Rothschild has moved to Buffalo by 1890 but is still shown to be a part of the company, and they've added two new members: Moses Wertheimer & Paul Steinberg.
