"Moritz Bossak, veteran fur manufacturer, who had retired from the trade on Jan. 31, last, after many years' connection, was instantly killed yesterday morning when struck by a taxicab as he was attempting to cross Broadway near 72d street. Funeral services are to be conducted at 2 o'clock tomorrow afternoon at Riverside Memorial Chapel, Amsterdam avenue and 76th street. News of Mr. Bossak's death came as a great shock to his many friends in the New York fur market. Word of his passing reached the trade when his family sought information as to the present whereabouts of his son, Joseph M., who went to Europe recently to confer with heads of Frederick Huth & Co. and received appointment there as general manager of the Huth auction branch here upon the retirement of W. H. Bennet on Sept. 1. Through the New York branch of the Huth firm, his son was reached by cable in Paris yesterday and word was received shortly thereafter that he will sail tomorrow on the Majestic and will arrive in New York early next week. Mr. Bossak, who was in his 63d year, had spent practically all of his business life in the fur trade. In 1890 he formed a partnership with Adolf Hochstim which lasted for 37 years and ended only when the two men retired from the fur business recently, the firm operating during that period under the style of Hochstim & Bossak. Since his withdrawal from active participation in business, Mr. Bossak had frequently been seen in the market, calling upon the friends he had made in his long contact with the trade. The survivors of Mr. Bossak are his widow, Hattie, his son, Joseph M., and a daughter, Mrs. Esther Goldberg, who makes her residence in Baltimore. Another son, Arnold H., who had been associated with his brother in the fur firm of Struck & Bossak, died several years ago."
