History of an American art materials supplier

Whether the founders of Blick Art Supplies were Jews, or not, could not be confirmed by me in a search. Perhaps they were simply entrepreneurial German immigrants, but as with many American companies -- think Sears & Roebuck -- this "family-owned business" eventually became a Jewish family's business -- that is, if Metzenberg and Buchsbaum were Jews. https://www.dickblick.com/about-blick/history/

As WikiJews explain:
Dick Blick and his wife Grace started Dick Blick Company in 1911, working from their kitchen to sell their first product, the Payzant pen, by mail order.[4] Robert Metzenberg purchased the company in 1947.[1] Its parent company is Dick Blick Holdings, Inc., founded by Blick and Metzenberg.[5] Metzenberg expanded the company, opening mail order offices in Las Vegas, Nevada; Hartford, Connecticut; and Allentown, Pennsylvania. He opened the first Blick retail store in Galesburg, Illinois, in 1974.[4] He also established retail outlets in Las Vegas, Allentown, and Dearborn, Michigan.[6] Metzenberg's grandson, Robert Buchsbaum, became CEO in 1996.[5][7][8] The Business Committee for the Arts, a division of Americans for the Arts, honored Buchsbaum with its 2016 Leadership Award, for "extraordinary vision, leadership, and commitment to supporting the arts and for encouraging other businesses to follow their lead."[8]
