Description

Abe Potash is a sharp‑tongued, fast‑talking garment dealer who’s just endured a disastrous partnership with the slick‑talking Pincus Vesell. Fresh from signing yet another dissolution agreement, he vows to go it alone—until his ever‑watchful confidant, the pragmatic lawyer Noblestone, points out a new opportunity that could finally steady his shaky finances. Their banter crackles with wit, full of colorful New York‑city slang and the kind of street‑wise scheming that makes the cut‑throat world of cloak‑and‑suit trading feel both familiar and uproariously fresh.

The story follows Potash as he weighs a tempting offer from a young, cash‑rich designer who knows the business inside out but lacks a sales instinct. With the powerful Zudrowsky & Cohen families looming in the background, Potash must decide whether to trust this fresh talent, leverage old grudges, or remain fiercely independent. Their misadventures blend humor with a keen observation of immigrant ambition, promising listeners a lively portrait of early‑20th‑century commerce and camaraderie.

About the author

Montague Glass

Montague Glass

1877–1934

Best known for bringing the fast-talking partners Potash and Perlmutter to life, this British-born American writer turned everyday business chatter into sharp, affectionate comedy. Before writing full time, he practiced law in New York, and that close view of city life fed the stories, plays, and film scripts that made him popular in the early 1900s.
