"Potash and Perlmutter Settle Things" by Montague Glass is a comedic novel written in the late 19th century. The story follows two Jewish garment merchants, Morris Perlmutter and Abe Potash, as they navigate the complexities of business and life in the aftermath of World War I, especially during the Paris Peace Conference. Through their witty banter and misunderstandings, the characters engage in humorous discussions on politics, society, and their ambitions, showcasing a mix of comedy and cultural commentary. The opening portion introduces us to Morris and Abe, who express their frustration over a business strike and their desire to travel to Paris for fashion designs, which leads to hilarious debates about worries, politics, and their competitive nature against rival Leon Sammet. As their plan to obtain passports unfolds, readers get a glimpse into their character dynamics and their humorous take on contemporary events like the arrival of President Wilson in Paris.
