"Frankfurter roll" baker in Brooklyn newspapers (1904)

[Bapopik at AOL.COM]

   I couldn't find a BROOKLYN EAGLE obituary, but here's two other Brooklyn
papers.  It's Frischmann in one newspaper and Frischman in the other.  The
National Hot Dog & Sausage Council and Coney Island might want to do something
next year, the 100th anniversary of his death.

   7 March 1904, BROOKLYN DAILY TIMES, pg. 2, col. 4:
      _Ignatz Frischman._
   Ignatz Frischman, the pioneer baker of Coney Island, died at his home, 182
Prospect Park West, last Saturday.  He was the inventor of the toothsome
frankfurter sandwich that has helped to make Coney Island the most famous seaside
resort on the Atlantic coast.  Frischman was born in 1850, and launched his
first business venture on the Bowery, Coney Island, many years ago.  The island
at that time was not famous for its foodstuffs, but when Frischman opened his
modest little bakery and started the manufacture of a certain oblong roll that
the frankfurter men needed in their business, "Coney" sprang into the
limelight.  Frankfurter stands were built in every nook and corner of the island, and
Baker Frischman did a land office business.  Visitors to Coney Island did not
feel as though they had "done" the resort thoroughly without devouring a hot
"frankfurter and."  Mr. Frischman was a member of Shakespeare Lodge, F. and A.
M., a trsutee of the Hebrew Church Society and a member of the Volunteer Fire
Department.  He will be buried in Washington Cemetery tomorrow.
