Sugarman Co., a Los Angeles business investment firm, a value estimated at $3.5 million, reported by the Los Angeles Times as "one of the larges mercantile sales of its kind in recent years in California". The chain at that time consisted of eight stores: Advertising for the Famous Department Store ceases in 1952. (en)
