Big City Modeling Agencies shares with you the original Lebenthal & Co. Which was founded 87 years ago in a two room office on lower Broadway. Louis and Sayra Lebenthal helped democratize muni bonds, which had long been almost an exclusive province of the insurers and the rich. Louis died in 1951, but Sayra kept working until her retirement at age 93 in 1992. The 4-foot-11 Sayra was a dynamo who peered over a giant, horse-hoe-shaped cherry desk that Alexandra uses to this day. She'd spend her days calling store owners, Florida retirees, and dentists to sell batches of muni bonds.
