There's a New Yorker article from '89 about the business that would be worth reading. The daughter was 4 when the company started and has every catalog. From facebook it looks like she may be in her 60's?

It looks like you can open the article for a one week subscription for a buck.

p.s. I messaged her of Facebook but who knows if she'll respond to someone she's never heard of.

oops... the business was opened 4 years before the daughter was born.
