Bellcamp Stores operated a store chain which sold Kaufmann's hats in forty-one stores in sixteen states in the 1930s[when?]. Benjamin H. Kaufmann was president of the business.
Bellcamp filed for permission to reorganize under the Bankruptcy Act of 1898, on June 30, 1936. A casualty of the Great Depression, the corporation listed liabilities of $261,940 and assets of $333,030. The business was important because it sold merchandise in multiple regions of the United States. It was based at 123 West 42nd Street.[1]
Bellcamp Stores emerged from bankruptcy and continued to do business in New York City. The company leased space in a building located at 13 - 25 Astor Place in January 1939.[2] Prior to its bankruptcy reorganization the firm leased a store at 954 Flatbush Avenue to Griddle Eats, Inc.[3] In July 1935 Bellcamp Stores leased to London Hats, Inc., building space at 600 West 181st Street.[4]
