Their factory, at 76 Madison Avenue, was one whole floor with an area of 3000 square feet. Mr. Seltzer was in charge of sales and Mr. Goldberg was designer and factory man; Arthur Seltzer, a younger brother, was assistant in production. In 1939 Mr. Goldberg left, and the name of the firm was changed to Seltzer & Seltzer; it was not changed officially to Goldcrest until 1944. (Handbags & Accessories June 1956, page 45)
