Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Hallgarten & Company was an investment bank based in New York that was founded in 1850 by Lazarus Hallgarten, a native of Hesse. Lazarus Hallgarten arrived in the United States in 1849. His initial activity was as a note and exchange broker opening an office at 20 Exchange Place in 1850. This yielded a moderate income and enabled him to start as a banker. Initially the firm was called Hallgarten & Herzfeld, which eventually became Hallgarten & Co. from January 1, 1867 after Herzfeld retired.
