A Failed Merger Becomes A Blessing for Stuyvesant

Roesch had a check in hand, but he no longer owned any equipment. But he did own the company's name—and the building where Stuyvesant was located. As landlord, he immediately evicted the tenants—his ex-partners at the mailing house.

Ousted from the facility, the mailing house packed up all the equipment, computers and furniture, and vacated the premises, closing the doors behind them. Within a month, the doors were reopened by Roesch, who walked back in—in a grand fashion.
