Blumenthal Brothers Chocolate Company
The Blumenthal Brothers Chocolate Company was a Philadelphia-based chocolate manufacturer that existed from 1909 to 1984. Its factory was located at Margaret and James Streets in the city's Frankford neighborhood. History The company was founded in 1909 and existed under Blumenthal family management until 1969 when it was sold to Ward Foods, a New York-based conglomerate best known for making Tip Top bread. The principal reason for the sale, reportedly, was that few of the third generation of Blumenthals were interested in managing the company. After the sale, a new company, Ward Candy, was formed with Bernhard S. Blumenthal as its president. Legal difficulties In 1968, Louis Perez, a Blumenthal employee, sued the company in the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, claiming he was forced to work in exposure to a heavy concentration of dust and excessive heat in his employment.

Mașloc
Mașloc (german: Blumenthal; hu, Máslak) is a commune in Timiș County, Romania. It is composed of three villages: Alioș, Mașloc (commune seat) and Remetea Mică. It also included Fibiș until 2004, when it was split off to form a separate commune. Name The German name of the village, ''Blumenthal'', means "village of flowers". The German colony was built in a wildflower meadow, hence the name. This is also illustrated by the old stamp of the village, depicting a valley and a flower vase with a lush bouquet of flowers. The Romanian population had great difficulties pronouncing the German name. Therefore they named the village ''Maslog'', as shown in a map from 1864–1865. ''Maslog'' was written with "s" and not with the Romanian "ș" (s-comma). ''Maslog'' was changed to ''Mașloc'', apparently taking over the ending "-loc" from the Hungarian "-lak" (''Máslak''). The Hungarian ''lak'' – just like the Romanian ''loc'' – means "place". History Mașloc was first mentioned ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
