L.F. Rothschild, Unterberg, Towbin Infant Bodysuit
Product Details & Size Guide
Share a little New York company history with the next generation in this L.F. Rothschild, Unterberg, Towbin infant bodysuit. The firm was founded in 1899 and later became known for its work in securities and its role in early-1980s technology offerings. Its 1977 merger created a memorable combined name, while its story ended after the market turmoil of 1987 and the financial difficulties that followed. A playful keepsake for finance families, former employees, and collectors who enjoy the history behind familiar corporate names.
Founded in 1899 in New York City by Louis F. Rothschild and partner Leonard Hockstader, L.F. Rothschild & Co. took over the offices and business of Albert Loeb & Co. at 32 Broadway. Louis F. Rothschild was not related to the Rothschild family. The firm focused on fixed-income securities sales and trading and also operated in arbitrage, retail brokerage, and wealth management. After merging with C.E. Unterberg, Towbin in 1977, it became L.F. Rothschild, Unterberg, Towbin, led primarily by Thomas I. Unterberg and A. Robert Towbin. That year it moved to 55 Water Street, leasing the 45th and 46th floors. Its merchant banking investments included high-technology companies, and in the early 1980s it became a leading underwriter of initial public offerings, taking companies including Intel, Cray Research, and Cetus Corporation public. Unterberg and Towbin left in 1986 to join Shearson Lehman. The firm's stock trading exposure contributed to its collapse after the 1987 market crash. Franklin Savings Association acquired it in February 1988, but its holding company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in July 1989. By the end of that year, staffing had fallen from a peak of 2,200 to 45.
