Re: Leblanc or LeBlanc?

The old catalogues and press releases spell the name with a small "b." The big "b" was an advertising device used in the logo, not a feature of the family or legal corporate name. Leon Leblanc lived to be 100 years old, raised the company back from the trauma of two factory fires, and managed to remarry at the age of 98. He earned a diploma from the Paris Conservatory in 1921 and established a New York office for Leblanc distribution in 1935. That office and the later factory in Kenosha, Wisconsin were listed with the small "b" spelling; the address in Kenosha was 7001 Leblanc Ave, 53141. Both the street and the company name were eponymous; that is, they took their name from the Leblanc family. Google Leon Leblanc (1900-2000), music as a vocation to find out more.
