According to journalist and book collector Bernard Falk (1882-1960),

Part of his achievement was to build up the libraries of such U.S.A. Multi-millionaires as J. Pierpont Morgan, H.C. Folger, He.E. Huntington, Robert Hoe and J.E. Widener, all of whom had the greatest faith in his judgment, advice and business probity.

The business survives to this day.[3]
