Isidor Straus was not a founder of Macy's. It was founded by R. H. Macy in 1858, and purchased by Isidor and his brother Nathan in 1893. Incidentally, the Macy's star insignia comes from a tattoo Macy acquired during his teenage days as a Nantucket whaler. In another bit of nautical trivia, Isidore Straus died in the sinking of the Titanic.

true because these storage joints sue quick to get your property to auction. looks like they get first dibs too, a rolls royce for nada, zip, bupkus, zero cents.

Memo to rich antique car buffs: own the building you store your prized collection in.
