NOVELTY FURS SI place, Max had more bad news. His mother had fallen ill. Part of the trouble was her anxiety over him. Max must return to Hungary. The Dual Monarchy was working up to that intensive armament which, for two decades before the explosion, turned Europe into an armed camp. When Max and Adolph made their vacation visit, Hungarian subjects who had emigrated before they were seventeen stood exempt from military service. Now, Hungary suddenly revoked that exception. The apparitors of Franz Josef gathered in Max Schosberg. For the time being, Adolph Zukor must needs go it alone. To finish this part of the business: by 1896, when Max Schosberg could return to Chicago, the Novelty Fur Company had fallen to the depths and was working back toward prosperity. Adolph Zukor, in the course of the struggle, had developed new tastes. He liked “outside work” — dealing with customers and wholesale houses. To sit in the back room directing the operatives contented him no longer. Also, Max thought he saw a golden opportunity in Peoria. So they dissolved partnership, Adolph keeping the Chicago business and Max the Peoria branch. They were never associated again, though they remained personal friends to the end of the chapter. Max Schosberg went on to a comfortable fortune; he is now manager of the fur department at Gimbel’s, New York. “But I wish I had stayed with Adolph,” he says.
