GENERAL BAR is rich in history, starting with humble beginnings by George Bloom, a man with a vision. In 1941, in the midst of World War II, George Bloom, along with his wife Ruth, ventured out and established GENERAL BAR, which has now grown into the largest resource of collection lawyers in the world, both in printed format and on the web. George originally operated from the Bar Building in New York City, and for decades he was a friendly face at all CLLA meetings, taking pictures and making memories. In 1983 the Sonnhalter family acquired GENERAL BAR and continued to develop it into the successful and widely-acclaimed company it is today. The Sonnhalter family, along with their dedicated staff, is one of the very few publishers that actually provides their customers with any type of a succession plan to take care of their needs for many years to come. They continually challenge themselves to provide the best product on the market, noting that their loyal customers inspire them to strive for excellence.
