content: This small section of Subseries 1.6 includes contracts, agreements, financial statements, and supporting correspondence concerning the legal status and rights of Georges Seligmann, cousin to Germain Seligman. When the Paris firm liquidated its assets in the early 1940s, Georges claimed he owned a share of the stock and desired either commissions or a portion of the sales profits from the Paris inventory. These files document the numerous agreements between Jacques Seligmann & Co., Inc., and Georges Seligmann following the liquidation of the Paris office and the establishment of the "French Company" (in legal contracts this term was used to designate Jacques Seligmann et Fils and G. Seligman & Cie, S.A., Successors in Liquidation), also known as the "Nouvelle Society.") All materials concern the percentages of Georges's commissions, ownership of particular stock and inventory, and the employment of Georges by the firm. Additional financial information about the inventory, sales, and commissions is arranged in Miscellaneous Financial Notes and Files (Series 7.18).
