Merck Report, Volume 5, 1896:

"RICHARD D. YOUNG PERFUMERY CO. The Richard D. Young Perfumery Company of No. 148 Duane Street is one of the bestknown concerns of the perfumery trade, and a short time ago, another firm known as the Young Perfumery Company applied to the Supreme Court for the appointment of a receiver. Immediately, a misapprehenslon as to the identity of the two houses arose in the trade, and caused some temporary annoyance to the Richard D. Young Perfumery Company. This concern is widely known and highly respected, and does a large business in all grades of perfumery, it ranks among the leading houses of the trade. As a flourishing commercial house, the Richard D. Young Perfumery Company owes much to the enterprise, and energetic management of its president, Mr A. W. Rice."
