"Potash & Perlmutter: Their Copartnership Ventures and Adventures" by Montague Glass is a comedic novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around the titular characters, Abe Potash and Morris Perlmutter, who embark on various business ventures in the cloak and suit trade. Through their humorous discussions and interactions with clients and competitors, the novel explores themes of partnership, business ethics, and the trials of immigrant life in America. The opening of the book introduces Abe Potash, who is in a distressed mood after dissolving his partnership with Pincus Vesell. As he converses with his business broker, Philip Noblestone, he ruminates on the challenges of partnership and his aversion to the cloak and suit business. Through a series of conversations with Noblestone, they discuss potential new partnership opportunities, leading to the eventual meeting with Morris Perlmutter, who has struggled in his own business ventures.
