Al Wiederlight and his son Phillip open Fountain Pen Hospital at 141 Fulton Street
Father and son Al and Phillip Wiederlight started their pen-repair shop here in 1946, in an earlier building on the site, when a fountain pen was an everyday business tool. Customers, from bankers to secretaries, reportedly lined up outside before 8 a.m., and the shop also sold new pens from makers such as Parker and Sheaffer. Needing more room, the store went through several moves and ended up at 10 Warren Street.
