Partos
In Manhattan, Dr. Nicholas Partos, chain-store druggist, wealthy manufacturer of chocolate-coated pills, awoke and found a burglar prowling through his Fifth Avenue mansion. The burglar hit Dr. Partos on the head with a piece of iron pipe. Dr. Partos tore off the burglar's mask, chased him downstairs, bashed him repeatedly on the head with his fist. Allowing the burglar to run out of the house, Dr. Partos returned upstairs to reassure Mrs. Partos who observed the burglar fleeing into Central Park. In his haste he had left his coat, hat and shoes in the house, was running madly in his stocking feet.
In 1923 some robbers entered the Partos pantry, ate a box of Dr. Partos' pills, became sick, fled without their booty.
